Subject: [57/93] dell-wmi, hp-wmi, msi-wmi: check wmi_get_event_data() return value

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>

commit fda11e61ff8a4e3a8ebbd434e46560b67cc0ca9d upstream

[ backport to 2.6.32 ]

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.
