Subject: [PATCH] kvm: reset arch memslot info on memslot creation
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 11:24:39 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130710082439.GA1482@redhat.com> (raw)
On x86, kvm_arch_create_memslot assumes that rmap/lpage_info for the
slot are zeroed out: if they weren't, error handling code after out_free
label will free memory which wasn't allocated here.
This always happens to be the case because on KVM_MR_DELETE we clear the
whole arch structure. So there's no bug, but it's cleaner not to rely
on this here.
Make the code more robust by clearing the rmap/lpage_info explicitly.
