From c27bac0314131b11bccd735f7e8415ac6444b667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Kaneda Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 14:25:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Fix memory leak caused by _CID repair function ACPICA commit 180cb53963aa876c782a6f52cc155d951b26051a According to the ACPI spec, _CID returns a package containing hardware ID's. Each element of an ASL package contains a reference count from the parent package as well as the element itself. Name (TEST, Package() { "String object" // this package element has a reference count of 2 }) A memory leak was caused in the _CID repair function because it did not decrement the reference count created by the package. Fix the memory leak by calling acpi_ut_remove_reference on _CID package elements that represent a hardware ID (_HID).
