[KVM PATCH v2 1/3] kvm: fix potential coalesced_mmio leak on shutdown

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It would appear that we are invoking kfree() on the wrong pointer in the
destructor for the coalesced_mmio device.  This could result in a potential
leak during shutdown.  This works today because the kvm_io_device is
the first element of the private structure, but this could change in
the future, so lets clean this up.
