Subsequent free_loaded_vmcs then attempts to manipulate vmx->loaded_vmcs. Switch the order to avoid the problem. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047892 Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c index da7837e..2efa33f0 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c @@ -7332,8 +7332,8 @@ static void vmx_free_vcpu(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) struct vcpu_vmx *vmx = to_vmx(vcpu); free_vpid(vmx); - free_nested(vmx); free_loaded_vmcs(vmx->loaded_vmcs); + free_nested(vmx); kfree(vmx->guest_msrs); kvm_vcpu_uninit(vcpu); kmem_cache_free(kvm_vcpu_cache, vmx);
