wmi: fix a memory leak in wmi_notify_debug
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_get_event_data() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, and thus must check its return value before accessing or kfree() on the buffer. This patch adds return value checking for wmi_get_event_data() and adds a missing kfree(obj) in the end of wmi_notify_debug Signed-off-by: Axel Lin <axel.lin@gmail.com> Acked-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
