[PATCHv2] KVM: x86: Fix memory leak in vmx.c

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

 



If userspace creates and destroys multiple VMs within the same process
we leak 20k of memory in the userspace process context per VM.  This
patch frees the memory in kvm_arch_destroy_vm.  If the process exits
without closing the VM file descriptor or the file descriptor has been
shared with another process then we don't need to free the memory.
