Subject: [PATCH] acer-wmi: fix memory leaks in WMID_set_capabilities and get_wmid_devices
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2010 10:55:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1278384936.12801.17.camel@mola> (raw)

When acpi_evaluate_object() is passed ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
the caller must kfree the returned buffer if AE_OK is returned.

The callers of wmi_query_block() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
and thus must check its return value before accessing
or kfree() on the buffer.

This patch adds a missing kfree(out.pointer) before exit
WMID_set_capabilities() and get_wmid_devices().
