Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Fix use after free in HPT resizing code and related minor improvements
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:38:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1511973506-65683-1-git-send-email-spopovyc@redhat.com> (raw)

It is possible to trigger use after free during HPT resize
causing host kernel to crash. More details and analysis of
the problem can be found in change with corresponding subject
(KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix use after free in case of multiple
resize requests).

We need some changes to prepare for the fix, especially
make ->error in HPT resize instance single point for
tracking allocation state, improve kvmppc_allocate_hpt()
and kvmppc_free_hpt() so they can be used more safely.

See individual commit description message to get more
information on changes presented.
