I am not seeing a call to cleanup_srcu_struct() for the ->track_srcu field of the kvm_page_track_notifier_head structure. Or is this structure immortal, so that it is never cleaned up? Or am I just blind this morning? In any case, freeing the kvm_page_track_notifier_head structure without first invoking cleanup_srcu_struct() on its ->track_srcu srcu_struct field could easily result in a use-after-free bug. === I also don't see cleanup of page track srcu.
