[patch 22/48] KVM: Dont destroy vcpu in case vcpu_setup fails

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Sep 04 2009 - 16:14:47 EST



2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 7d8fece678c1abc2ca3e1ceda2277c3538a9161c)

One of vcpu_setup responsibilities is to do mmu initialization.
However, in case we fail in kvm_arch_vcpu_reset, before we get the
chance to init mmu. OTOH, vcpu_destroy will attempt to destroy mmu,
triggering a bug. Keeping track of whether or not mmu is initialized
would unnecessarily complicate things. Rather, we just make return,
making sure any needed uninitialization is done before we return, in
case we fail.
