Subject: [PATCH v1 1/5] KVM: s390: pci: Fix refcount leak in memory accounting functions
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:25:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713172600.1284-2-alifm@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260713172600.1284-1-alifm@linux.ibm.com>
The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don't decrement the count by calling free_uid().
Fix this by calling the free_uid() appropriately.
Fixes: 3c5a1b6f0a18 ("KVM: s390: pci: provide routines for enabling/disabling interrupt forwarding")
