Sorry for the late review, I was busy getting ready for kernel summit and then traveling too much.

The simple fix is to finish the function with: ret = tracing_open_generic(inode, filp); if (ret < 0) { trace_array_put(tr); kfree(dir); return ret; } filp->private_data = dir; return 0; -- Steve > +err_dir: > + trace_array_put(tr); > return ret; > } > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
