[PATCH 20/30] KVM: MMU: Fix another largepage memory leak

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Fri Feb 27 2009 - 20:51:00 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>

In the paging_fetch function rmap_remove is called after setting a large
pte to non-present. This causes rmap_remove to not drop the reference to
the large page. The result is a memory leak of that page.
