From 772d90457e3f72d58c2bf4dcec5046ab9ed5a2e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:06:40 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: Ignore port name update request if name already set We don't allow port name changes dynamically for a port. So any requests by the host to change the name are ignored. Before this patch, if the hypervisor sent a port name while we had one set already, we would leak memory equivalent to the size of the old name. This scenario wasn't expected so far, but with the suspend-resume support, we'll send the VIRTIO_CONSOLE_PORT_READY message after restore, which can get us into this situation.
