I had tried to retest with your patch,and I think the memory leak was resolved by it.
Thanks!

Ah, I assume by "linux-5.4" you mean "stable v5.4.x kernels that contain commit
7d1bc32d6477 ("KVM: Stop looking for coalesced MMIO zones if the bus is destroyed")", because without that fix I can't see any bug that would affect both 5.4 and the upstream kernel.

If my assumption is correct, then I'm 99% certain the issue is that the target device isn't destroyed if allocating the new bus fails.  I haven't had luck with the automatic fault injection, but was able to confirm a leak with this hack.

The fix is to destroy the target device before bailing.  I'll send a proper patch either way, but it would be nice to get confirmation that this is the same bug that you hit with "linux-5.4".

Thanks!
