From c80f5b31f3c55a197f5323b93d1e3553429a427e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 09:32:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: processor_driver: add missing kfree The function acpi_processor_add is stored in the ops.add field of a acpi_driver structure. This function is then called in acpi_bus_driver_init. On failure, this function clears the field device->driver_data, but does not free its contents. Thus the free has to be done by the add function. In acpi_processor_add, the corresponding value is pr. This value is currently freed on failure before storing it in device->driver_data, but not after. This free is added in the error handling code at the end of the function. The per_cpu variable processors is also cleared so that it does not refer to a dangling pointer.
