[PATCH] ACPI / resources: fix memory leak on request_range fail path

From: Colin King
Date: Mon Jun 29 2015 - 16:17:18 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

static analysis from cppcheck detected a memory leak:
[drivers/acpi/resource.c:664]: (error) Memory leak: reg

the error path on a failed request_range call should free
reg before returning. Bug introduced in the recent commit
0f1b414d190724617eb1cdd615592fa8cd9d0b50
("ACPI / PNP: Avoid conflicting resource reservations")

Fixes: 0f1b414d19 ("ACPI / PNP: Avoid conflicting resource reservations")
