Subject: [PATCH qemu v2 6/9] savevm-async: free migration vmdesc
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:47:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907094744.131193-7-e.fastermann@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907094744.131193-1-e.fastermann@proxmox.com>
migrate_init() allocates it and only migration_cleanup() frees it, which
savevm-async does not call. Free it with the rest of the migration
state, tens of KiB per snapshot even for a minimal guest.
