[PATCH] vfio/platform: Remove the ACPI buffer memory to fix memory leak

From: Hanjun Guo
Date: Tue Nov 22 2022 - 06:46:24 EST


The ACPI buffer memory (buffer.pointer) returned by acpi_evaluate_object()
is not used after the call of _RST method, so it leads to memory leak.

For the calling of ACPI _RST method, we don't need to pass a buffer
for acpi_evaluate_object(), we can just pass NULL and remove the ACPI
buffer memory in vfio_platform_acpi_call_reset(), then we don't need to
free the memory and no memory leak.

Fixes: d30daa33ec1d ("vfio: platform: call _RST method when using ACPI")
