Subject: [PATCH resend] wmi: Free the allocated acpi objects through wmi_get_event_data
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:50:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091215105024.3acad900@destiny.ordissimo> (raw)
These function allocate an acpi object by calling wmi_get_event_data, which
then calls acpi_evaluate_object, and it is not freed afterwards.
And kernel doc is fixed for parameters of wmi_get_event_data.

Hi,
I didn't see this patch merged in any tree yet, so I'm resending it with the
