The patch titled
acpi: memory leak in acpi_evaluate_integer()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
memory-leak-in-acpi_evaluate_integer.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxx>
acpi_evaluate_integer() does not release allocated memory on the error path.
(akpm: this is what happens when one uses multiple `return' statements...)
