This will say this patch as this patch is calling acpi_run_osc in
response to thermald calls for the first time.
But looking at code, this is freeing the memory allocated by
acpi_run_osc() call chain as any other caller.
status = acpi_run_osc(handle, &context);
if (ACPI_SUCCESS(status)) {
ret = *((u32 *)(context.ret.pointer + 4));
if (ret != *enable)
result = -EPERM;
kfree(context.ret.pointer);
} else
result = -EPERM;
There is no kfree when call failed as at other places.
I think you are failing, you can search for "_OSC" in dmesg.
On some Dell systems this OSC setting fails because of some BIOS issue.
May be you are hitting that case.
Just for the sake of test, please apply the diff and see if the issue
is gone.
Thanks,
Srinivas
