Hm, as far as I can see, when register_trigger() returns >= 0, it already
calls ->init the trigger_data. This means its refcount++, and in that
case, below patch will miss to free the trigger_data.
How about below for tentative fix?
if (!ret) {
ret = -ENOENT;
/* We have to forcibly free the trigger_data */
goto out_free;
} else if (ret > 0)
ret = 0;
Thank you,
