Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] perf pmu: Add PMU alias support

[Riccardo Mancini <rickyman7@gmail.com>]

Hi,

thanks for your quick revision. 

There is still one small memory issue with a variable not being freed, which I
noticed when running this patchset together with John's patchset.

name is not freed if one of the following checks fails.

	/*
	 * The pmu data we store & need consists of the pmu
	 * type value and format definitions. Load both right
	 * now.
	 */
	if (pmu_format(name, &format))
		return NULL;

	/*
	 * Check the type first to avoid unnecessary work.
	 */
	if (pmu_type(name, &type))
		return NULL;

	if (pmu_aliases(name, &aliases))
		return NULL;
