KVM: Prevent kvm_init from corrupting debugfs structures
commit: 0ea4ed8e948c30f88c824c973ee4b9529015fe65 upstream I'm seeing an oops condition when kvm-intel and kvm-amd are modprobe'd during boot (say on an Intel system) and then rmmod'd: # modprobe kvm-intel kvm_init() kvm_init_debug() kvm_arch_init() <-- stores debugfs dentries internally (success, etc) # modprobe kvm-amd kvm_init() kvm_init_debug() <-- second initialization clobbers kvm's internal pointers to dentries kvm_arch_init() kvm_exit_debug() <-- and frees them # rmmod kvm-intel kvm_exit() kvm_exit_debug() <-- double free of debugfs files! *BOOM* If execution gets to the end of kvm_init(), then the calling module has been established as the kvm provider. Move the debugfs initialization to the end of the function, and remove the now-unnecessary call to kvm_exit_debug() from the error path. That way we avoid trampling on the debugfs entries and freeing them twice. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
