So futher investigation shows that the trigger for this *is* cpu_pm=on :(

So this is enough to trigger the warning when run in the guest:

qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc none -serial stdio -machine accel=kvm -kernel x86/dummy.flat -machine kernel-irqchip=on -smp 8 -m 1g -cpu host -overcommit cpu-pm=on


'-smp 8' is needed, and the more vCPUs the more often the warning appears.


Due to non atomic memslot update bug, I use patched qemu version, with an attached hack,
to pause/resume vcpus around the memslot update it does, but even without this hack,
you can just ctrl+c the test after it gets the KVM internal error, and
then tdp mmu memory leak warning shows up (not always but very often).


Oh, and if I run the above command on the bare metal, it never terminates. Must be due to preemption,
qemu shows beeing stuck in kvm_vcpu_block. AVIC disabled, kvm/queue.
Bugs, bugs, and features :)
