The virtio core uses a static ida named virtio_index_ida for assigning index numbers to virtio devices during registration. The ida core may allocate some internal idr cache layers and an ida bitmap upon any ida allocation, and all these layers are truely freed only upon the ida destruction. The virtio_index_ida is not destroyed at present, leading to a memory leak when using the virtio core as a module and atleast one virtio device is registered and unregistered. Fix this by invoking ida_destroy() in the virtio core module exit. Signed-off-by: Suman Anna Signed-off-by: Michael S.
