When freeing indexed arrays, the corresponding free function should
be called for each entry of the indexed array. For example, for
for 'struct tc_act_attrs' 'tc_act_attrs_free(...)' needs to be called
for each entry.
Previously, memory leaks were reported when enabling the ASAN
analyzer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
