[PATCH] kvm: reset arch memslot info on memslot creation

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Wed Jul 10 2013 - 04:23:33 EST


On x86, kvm_arch_create_memslot assumes that rmap/lpage_info for the
slot are zeroed out: if they weren't, error handling code after out_free
label will free memory which wasn't allocated here.
This always happens to be the case because on KVM_MR_DELETE we clear the
whole arch structure. So there's no bug, but it's cleaner not to rely
on this here.

Make the code more robust by clearing the rmap/lpage_info explicitly.
