From e23d9b8297546c6ceb7e70771e4915f2a41733cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David E. Box" Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 10:06:24 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Namespace: Properly null terminate objects detached from a namespace node Fixes a bug exposed by an ACPICA unit test around the acpi_attach_data()/acpi_detach_data() APIs where the failure to null terminate a detached object led to the creation of a circular linked list (and infinite looping) when the object is reattached.
