[PATCH v2] iwlwifi: mvm: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path in 'iwl_mvm_sar_get_wgds_table()'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Fri Jul 14 2017 - 06:07:14 EST


We should free 'wgds.pointer' here as done a few lines above in another
error handling path.
It was allocated within 'acpi_evaluate_object()'.

v2: rebase after 7fe90e0e3d60 ("iwlwifi: mvm: refactor geo init")


Moreovern a comment in '/drivers/acpi/acpica/utalloc.c' states that:
/* [...] Note: The caller should use acpi_os_free to free this
* buffer created via ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER.
*/

So, at the end of this function:
out_free:
kfree(wgds.pointer);
should maybe be:
out_free:
acpi_os_free(wgds.pointer);

If correct, several places should be fixed accordingly.
