3.16.84-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx> commit 16be9ddea268ad841457a59109963fff8c9de38d upstream. Free the vCPU's wbinvd_dirty_mask if vCPU creation fails after kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), e.g. when installing the vCPU's file descriptor. Do the freeing by calling kvm_arch_vcpu_free() instead of open coding the freeing. This adds a likely superfluous, but ultimately harmless, call to kvmclock_reset(), which only clears vcpu->arch.pv_time_enabled. Using kvm_arch_vcpu_free() allows for additional cleanup in the future.
