ACPICA commit 52d1da5dcbd79a722b70f02a1a83f04088f51ff6 There was a memory leak that ocurred when a _CID object is defined as a package containing string objects. When _CID is checked for any possible repairs, it calls a helper function to repair _HID (because _CID basically contains multiple _HID entries). The _HID repair function assumes that string objects are standalone objects that are not contained inside of any packages. The _HID repair function replaces the string object with a brand new object and attempts to delete the old object by decrementing the reference count of the old object. Strings inside of packages have a reference count of 2 so the _HID repair function leaves this object in a dangling state and causes a memory leak. Instead of allocating a brand new object and removing the old object, use the existing object when repairing the _HID object.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
