Subject: [PATCH] kvm mmu: fix another largepage memory leak
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 12:18:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1235042336-20101-1-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com> (raw)

In the paging_fetch function rmap_remove is called after setting a large
pte to non-present. This causes rmap_remove to not drop the reference to
the large page. The result is a memory leak of that page.
