[Patch] statistics: fix cpu hot unplug related memory leak

From: Martin Peschke
Date: Tue Apr 10 2007 - 11:55:29 EST


In case of CPU hotunplug statistics might have leaked some memory
(lists of struct statistic_entry_sparse, about 32 byte each, freed
by statistic_sparse_reset()).

Patch is against 2.6.21-rc6-mm1.
