    Subject[patch 16/55] kprobes: fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe()
    3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com>

    commit 55ca6140e9bb307efc97a9301a4f501de02a6fd6 upstream.

    In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance
    object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero.
    This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted.

    This issue can be reproduced by changing
    samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix
    is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back
    onto the free_instances list.
