[for-linus][PATCH 02/10] tracing/histogram: Fix a potential memory leak for kstrdup()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 11:23:48 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by
kstrdup():

p = param = kstrdup(data->params[i], GFP_KERNEL);

So it is better to free it via kfree(p).
