Subject: [PATCH v3 04/15] KVM: x86: Unmap VMAs for KVM-internal memslots when the memslot is freed
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:11:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027221209.1560865-5-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027221209.1560865-1-seanjc@google.com>

Unmap KVM-created VMAs for KVM-internal memslots when the associated
memslot is freed instead of unmapping via x86's internal API.  This will
allow deleting/freeing all memslots before kvm_arch_destroy_vm() without
leaking VMAs, and in general is a net positive as it makes it far less
likely that KVM will leak VMAs, e.g. in the unlikely scenario some other
flow deletes KVM-internal memslots without going through
__x86_set_memory_region().
