Subject: [PATCH] arm: mach-omap2: smartreflex: fix another memory leak
Date: Mon,  7 Feb 2011 14:57:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297083471-6341-1-git-send-email-aaro.koskinen@nokia.com> (raw)

Temporary strings with volt_* file names should be released after the
debugfs entries are created.

The patch eliminates kmemleak reports with the following stack trace
(multiple objects depending on HW):

unreferenced object 0xcedbc5a0 (size 64):
  comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294929375 (age 423.734s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    76 6f 6c 74 5f 39 37 35 30 30 30 00 00 00 00 00  volt_975000.....
