[PATCH v4 11/19] KVM: x86: Free arrays for old memslot when moving memslot's base gfn

From: Sean Christopherson <hidden>
Date: 2019-12-17 20:41:47
Also in: kvmarm, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mips, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Explicitly free the metadata arrays (stored in slot->arch) in the old
memslot structure when moving the memslot's base gfn is committed.  This
eliminates x86's dependency on kvm_free_memslot() being called when a
memlsot move is committed, and paves the way for removing the funky code
in kvm_free_memslot() that conditionally frees structures based on its
@dont param.
