commit 3cec638b3d793b7cacdec5b8072364b41caeb0e1 upstream. When create_event_filter() fails in set_trigger_filter(), the filter may still be allocated and needs to be freed. The caller expects the data->filter to be updated with the new filter, even if the new filter failed (we could add an error message by setting set_str parameter of create_event_filter(), but that's another update). But because the error would just exit, filter was left hanging and nothing could free it. Found by kmemleak detector.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
