Linux kernel source tree
5417a2e9b1
For each vcpu that userspace creates, we allocate a number of
s2_mmu structures that will eventually contain our shadow S2
page tables.
Since this is a dynamically allocated array, we reallocate
the array and initialise the newly allocated elements. Once
everything is correctly initialised, we adjust pointer and size
in the kvm structure, and move on.
But should that initialisation fail *and* the reallocation triggered
a copy to another location, we end-up returning early, with the
kvm structure still containing the (now stale) old pointer. Weeee!
Cure it by assigning the pointer early, and use this to perform
the initialisation. If everything succeeds, we adjust the size.
Otherwise, we just leave the size as it was, no harm done, and the
new memory is as good as the ol' one (we hope...).

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 reStructuredText 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.
