But I'd rather do the opposite: move the refcount_set earlier so that refcount_dec_and_test can be moved after no_arch_destroy_vm. Moving the refcount_set is not strictly necessary, but avoids the introduction of yet another label. diff --git a/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c b/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c index e22ff63e5b1a..e7a07132cd7f 100644 --- a/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c +++ b/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c @@ -650,6 +650,7 @@ static struct kvm *kvm_create_vm(unsigned long type) if (init_srcu_struct(&kvm->irq_srcu)) goto out_err_no_irq_srcu; + refcount_set(&kvm->users_count, 1); for (i = 0; i < KVM_ADDRESS_SPACE_NUM; i++) { struct kvm_memslots *slots = kvm_alloc_memslots(); @@ -667,7 +668,6 @@ static struct kvm *kvm_create_vm(unsigned long type) goto out_err_no_arch_destroy_vm; } - refcount_set(&kvm->users_count, 1); r = kvm_arch_init_vm(kvm, type); if (r) goto out_err_no_arch_destroy_vm; @@ -696,8 +696,8 @@ static struct kvm *kvm_create_vm(unsigned long type) hardware_disable_all(); out_err_no_disable: kvm_arch_destroy_vm(kvm); - WARN_ON_ONCE(!refcount_dec_and_test(&kvm->users_count)); out_err_no_arch_destroy_vm: + WARN_ON_ONCE(!refcount_dec_and_test(&kvm->users_count)); for (i = 0; i < KVM_NR_BUSES; i++) kfree(kvm_get_bus(kvm, i)); for (i = 0; i < KVM_ADDRESS_SPACE_NUM; i++)
