A recently introduced helper for handling zap vs. remote flush incorrectly bails early, effectively leaking defunct shadow pages. Manifests as a slab BUG when exiting KVM due to the shadow pages being alive when their associated cache is destroyed. ========================================================================== BUG kvm_mmu_page_header: Objects remaining in kvm_mmu_page_header on ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint INFO: Slab 0x00000000fc436387 objects=26 used=23 fp=0x00000000d023caee ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
