Subject: perf tests api-io: Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ccbc21166ce149c5f7429cad22f9073d3fab0b1;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git

perf tests api-io: Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free

Do defensive programming by using zfree() to initialize freed pointers
to NULL, so that eventual use after free result in a NULL pointer deref
instead of more subtle behaviour.
