From 243b4cdab981d7004bee56c38e18a29da32ef104 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Nikita V. Shirokov" Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 05:18:14 +0000 Subject: bpf, libbpf: fixing leak when kernel does not support btf We could end up in situation when we have object file w/ all btf info, but kernel does not support btf yet. In this situation currently libbpf just set obj->btf to NULL w/o freeing it first. This patch is fixing it by making sure to run btf__free first.
