Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] KVM: s390: Free guest debug data on vcpu destroy
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 13:04:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805110455.7200-8-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805110455.7200-1-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com>

kvm_s390_clear_bp_data() is only called from
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_guest_debug(), i.e. when user space changes or
disables debugging. A vCPU that is destroyed while hardware breakpoints
are still armed - the normal case when the VMM just exits or crashes -
leaks hw_bp_info, hw_wp_info and all old_data buffers, since generic KVM
frees the vCPU right after kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy().

That is bounded by MAX_BP_COUNT entries, so roughly 8 KiB per vCPU, but
it is unbounded over VM lifetimes. The allocations are
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT, so the charge also outlives the exiting process and
pins dying memcgs.

Fix by clearing the debug data on vCPU destruction. Calling it
unconditionally is fine: struct kvm_vcpu is zero allocated, so for a vCPU
that never enabled debugging the counters are 0 and the pointers NULL.

Fixes: 27291e2165b6 ("KVM: s390: hardware support for guest debugging")
