Subject: [PATCH] acpi: pdc init related memory leak with physical CPU hotplug
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:14:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090620001458.GA31429@linux-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)


arch_acpi_processor_cleanup_pdc() in x86 and ia64 results in memory allocated
for _PDC objects that is never freed and will cause memory leak in case of
physical CPU remove and add. Patch fixes the memory leak by freeing the
objects soon after _PDC is evaluated.
