Leak in toshiba_acpi

Leak in toshiba_acpi

[Michal Čihař]

Hi all

On my notebook I noticed constant eating of memory of something in kernel, 
that allocates slab size-64. After some more testing I found that it is 
caused by reading values from toshiba_acpi module (/proc/acpi/toshiba 
interface).

However I'm unable to track it better, I don't know ACPI code and I haven't 
found much documentation. From what I know it looks to me like it forgets to 
free some memory it gets from ACPI calls. It happens on all read operations, 
so it must be some generic error in this module.

I'm using kernel 2.6.11.10. Could somebody please point me to useful 
documentation or help me with debugging this?
