From 7b768f07dce463a054c9dd84862d15ccc3d2b712 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:14:59 -0700 Subject: ACPI: pdc init related memory leak with physical CPU hotplug arch_acpi_processor_cleanup_pdc() in x86 and ia64 results in memory allocated for _PDC objects that is never freed and will cause memory leak in case of physical CPU remove and add. Patch fixes the memory leak by freeing the objects soon after _PDC is evaluated.

Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling. Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure the reset really takes effect. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in 2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5 months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various reminders and without any reason given. Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear. The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).
