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.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@citrix.com>

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).
