Subject: [PATCH] riscv/kvm: fix guest vector leak on host alloc failure
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:21:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260328092157.75058-1-yufan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Yufan Chen <ericterminal@gmail.com>

When allocating vector context for a vCPU, guest_context.vector.datap is allocated before host_context.vector.datap. If the second allocation fails, the function returns -ENOMEM directly and leaks the guest buffer.

Switch the failure path to centralized cleanup. On host allocation failure, free guest_context.vector.datap, clear the pointer, and return -ENOMEM through a shared exit label.
