X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b95cc562de2889a9333843dda073ba875f9e808;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

ftrace: Fix direct_functions leak in update_ftrace_direct_del

Alexei reported memory leak in update_ftrace_direct_del.
We miss cleanup of the replaced direct_functions in the
success path in update_ftrace_direct_del, adding that.

Fixes: 8d2c1233f371 ("ftrace: Add update_ftrace_direct_del function")
