Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Free init resources if kvm_init() fails
kvm_loongarch_init() calls kvm_loongarch_env_init() to allocate the
per-CPU kvm_context (vmcs) and kvm_loongarch_ops and to register the
perf callbacks, and then calls kvm_init(). If kvm_init() fails its
result is returned directly, but since module_init() does not run the
module_exit() stuff on failure, so kvm_loongarch_env_exit() is never
called and those resources are leaked.
So call kvm_loongarch_env_exit() when kvm_init() fails, matching the
teardown-on-failure pattern used by riscv_kvm_init().
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89909 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
