From dedeb4be203b382ba7245d13079bc3b0f6d40c65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Riccardo Mancini Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2021 18:07:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Fix dso->nsinfo refcounting ASan reports a memory leak of nsinfo during the execution of: # perf test "31: Lookup mmap thread". The leak is caused by a refcounted variable being replaced without dropping the refcount. This patch makes sure that the refcnt of nsinfo is decreased whenever a refcounted variable is replaced with a new value.
