Subject: Re: [PATCH] ACPI: Fix memory leak in acpi_ev_asynch_execute_gpe_method().
Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2011 23:20:15 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.02.1101162313220.3244@x980> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1101162033531.13377@swampdragon.chaosbits.net>

Looks like this bug was added by 
5a284cd75d635e3c5db0210dc9a9a44c6839f460
(ACPICA: Fix local variable mess in acpi_ev_asynch_execute_gpe_method).

The good news is that it is new in 2.6.38-merge
Also, I doubt that these error cases actually
occur in any significant frequency in practice.

Thanks for the find.

Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
