Subject: [PATCH] xen/xenbus: Don't leak memory when unmapping the ring on HVM backend
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 19:10:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1439230238-6413-1-git-send-email-julien.grall@citrix.com> (raw)
The commit ccc9d90a9a8b5c4ad7e9708ec41f75ff9e98d61d "xenbus_client:
Extend interface to support multi-page ring" removes the call to
free_xenballooned_pages in xenbus_unmap_ring_vfree_hvm.
This will result to not give back the pages to Linux and loose them
forever. It only happens when the backends are running in HVM domains.

Appeared in Linux 4.1. HVM backend, which is always the case on ARM, will
leak every mapped ring (i.e ~12KB per domain with 1 disk and 1 vif).
