Subject: [PATCH] libxc: fix memory leak in migration v2
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 23:40:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437777627-15758-1-git-send-email-wei.liu2@citrix.com> (raw)

Originally there was only one counter to keep track of pages. It was
used erroneously to keep track of how many pages were mapped and how
many pages needed to be send. In the end munmap(2) always has 0 as the
length argument, which resulted in leaking the mapping.

This problem is discovered on 32bit toolstack because 32bit application
has notably smaller address space. In fact this bug affects 64bit
toolstack too.

Use a separate counter to keep track of how many pages to send to solve
this issue.
