[PATCH 01/20] perf nsinfo: fix refcounting

From: Riccardo Mancini <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-15 16:07:33
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

ASan reports a memory leak of nsinfo during the execution of the 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.
