Subject: [kvm-unit-tests 3/5] lib: s390x: sie: Free guest memory on destroy
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 08:45:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415085145.91197-4-frankja@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415085145.91197-1-frankja@linux.ibm.com>
We never freed the memory that the sie library allocates as the guest
ram on destruction of the VM. Most tests reuse the VM or just leak the
memory since the standard allocation is one megabyte and tests only
use single digit numbers of VMs.
It's time to add automatic freeing to the sie library when a VM is
destroyed.
