Subject: [PATCH] exec/rom_reset: Free rom data during inmigrate skip
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2020 12:30:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200313123014.206828-1-dgilbert@redhat.com> (raw)

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Commit 355477f8c73e9 skips rom reset when we're an incoming migration
so as not to overwrite shared ram in the ignore-shared migration
optimisation.
However, it's got an unexpected side effect that because it skips
freeing the ROM data, when rom_reset gets called later on, after
migration (e.g. during a reboot), the ROM does get reset to the original
file contents.  Because of seabios/x86's weird reboot process
this confuses a reboot into hanging after a migration.

Fixes: 355477f8c73e9 ("migration: do not rom_reset() during incoming migration")
