From a9fcaaac37b3baba1343f906f52aeb65c4d4e356 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 23:17:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix memory leak on instance deletion When an instance is created, it also gets a snapshot ring buffer allocated (with minimum of pages). But when it is deleted the snapshot buffer is not. There was a helper function added to match the allocation of these ring buffers to a way to free them, but it wasn't used by the deletion of an instance. Using that helper function solves this memory leak.
