Subject: [PATCH 3/3] physmem: Destroy all CPU AddressSpaces on unrealize
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:42:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250929144228.1994037-4-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250929144228.1994037-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org>
When we unrealize a CPU object (which happens on vCPU hot-unplug), we
should destroy all the AddressSpace objects we created via calls to
cpu_address_space_init() when the CPU was realized.
Commit 24bec42f3d6eae added a function to do this for a specific
AddressSpace, but did not add any places where the function was
called.
Since we always want to destroy all the AddressSpaces on unrealize,
regardless of the target architecture, we don't need to try to keep
track of how many are still undestroyed, or make the target
architecture code manually call a destroy function for each AS it
created. Instead we can adjust the function to always completely
destroy the whole cpu->ases array, and arrange for it to be called
during CPU unrealize as part of the common code.
Without this fix, AddressSanitizer will report a leak like this
from a run where we hot-plugged and then hot-unplugged an x86 KVM
vCPU:
Direct leak of 416 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
