[34-longterm 180/260] x86, irq: Plug memory leak in sparse irq

From: Paul Gortmaker
Date: Sun Jan 02 2011 - 02:39:52 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1cf180c94e9166cda083ff65333883ab3648e852 upstream.

free_irq_cfg() is not freeing the cpumask_vars in irq_cfg. Fixing this
triggers a use after free caused by the fact that copying struct
irq_cfg is done with memcpy, which copies the pointer not the cpumask.

Fix both places.
