Paolo Bonzini 85cd39af14 KVM: Do not leak memory for duplicate debugfs directories ... KVM creates a debugfs directory for each VM in order to store statistics about the virtual machine. The directory name is built from the process pid and a VM fd. While generally unique, it is possible to keep a file descriptor alive in a way that causes duplicate directories, which manifests as these messages: [ 471.846235] debugfs: Directory '20245-4' with parent 'kvm' already present! Even though this should not happen in practice, it is more or less expected in the case of KVM for testcases that call KVM_CREATE_VM and close the resulting file descriptor repeatedly and in parallel. When this happens, debugfs_create_dir() returns an error but kvm_create_vm_debugfs() goes on to allocate stat data structs which are later leaked. The slow memory leak was spotted by syzkaller, where it caused OOM reports. Since the issue only affects debugfs, do a lookup before calling debugfs_create_dir, so that the message is downgraded and rate-limited. While at it, ensure kvm->debugfs_dentry is NULL rather than an error if it is not created. This fixes kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs, which was not checking IS_ERR_OR_NULL correctly.
