KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Free previous EQ page when setting up a new one commit 31a88c82b466d2f31a44e21c479f45b4732ccfd0 upstream. The EQ page is allocated by the guest and then passed to the hypervisor with the H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG hcall. A reference is taken on the page before handing it over to the HW. This reference is dropped either when the guest issues the H_INT_RESET hcall or when the KVM device is released. But, the guest can legitimately call H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG several times, either to reset the EQ (vCPU hot unplug) or to set a new EQ (guest reboot). In both cases the existing EQ page reference is leaked because we simply overwrite it in the XIVE queue structure without calling put_page(). This is especially visible when the guest memory is backed with huge pages: start a VM up to the guest userspace, either reboot it or unplug a vCPU, quit QEMU. The leak is observed by comparing the value of HugePages_Free in /proc/meminfo before and after the VM is run. Ideally we'd want the XIVE code to handle the EQ page de-allocation at the platform level. This isn't the case right now because the various XIVE drivers have different allocation needs. It could maybe worth introducing hooks for this purpose instead of exposing XIVE internals to the drivers, but this is certainly a huge work to be done later. In the meantime, for easier backport, fix both vCPU unplug and guest reboot leaks by introducing a wrapper around xive_native_configure_queue() that does the necessary cleanup.
