Reviewed-by: Liran Alon <liran.alon@xxxxxxxxxx> This would have been more easily diagnosed in case free_nested() would NULL cached_vmcs12 and cached_shadow_vmcs12 after kfree() and add to get_vmcs12() & get_shadow_vmcs12() a relevant BUG_ON() call. I would submit such a patch separately. -Liran > --- > > And another gremlin. I'm afraid there is at least one more because > vmport access from L2 is still failing in QEMU.
