Subject: [PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Free the queue pages in error path
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:42:08 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916111210.1982-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
If the xive_native_configure_queue() call fails, the qpage allocated is
not freed, which results in wasted memory. Fix this by freeing the qpage
in the error path.
Fixes: 5af50993850a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Native usage of the XIVE interrupt controller")
