X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~579^2~35
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=669048639ca6d3fdfb2e75dd77b8f49434d57625;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

acer-wmi: fix memory leaks in WMID_set_capabilities and get_wmid_devices

When acpi_evaluate_object() is passed ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, the caller
must kfree the returned buffer if AE_OK is returned.

The callers of wmi_query_block() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, and thus must
check its return value before accessing or kfree() on the buffer.

This patch adds a missing kfree(out.pointer) before exit
WMID_set_capabilities() and get_wmid_devices().
