From f45755b8346f1a089ca7957dce5f4c3c6cb26e6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiaotian Feng Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:19:11 +0800 Subject: KVM: fix poison overwritten caused by using wrong xstate size fpu.state is allocated from task_xstate_cachep, the size of task_xstate_cachep is xstate_size. xstate_size is set from cpuid instruction, which is often smaller than sizeof(struct xsave_struct). kvm is using sizeof(struct xsave_struct) to fill in/out fpu.state.xsave, as what we allocated for fpu.state is xstate_size, kernel will write out of memory and caused poison/redzone/padding overwritten warnings.
