[PATCH 0/2] ACPI, APEI: Memory leaks

From: Joshua Hunt
Date: Mon Feb 01 2016 - 13:55:16 EST


While investigating a possible memory leak using kmemleak I came across the
following five leaks coming from APEI and ERST:

unreferenced object 0xffff880402b6ee80 (size 32):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294669373 (age 318.183s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

18 50 ea dc 00 00 00 00 3f 50 ea dc 00 00 00 00 .P......?P......

The issue has been reported a handful of times upstream. Here is one of the previous
reports: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/11/149

This series resolves the reported leaks and kmemleak is clean with these patches applied.
