From 7267fa6819467669f5cc2ba81a615dcc88158b4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:16:21 -0400 Subject: tracing: fix ref count in splice pages The pages allocated for the splice binary buffer did not initialize the ref count correctly. This caused pages not to be freed and causes a drastic memory leak. Thanks to logdev I was able to trace the tracer to find where the leak was.
