Hello,I have found a memory leak bug in kvm module by syzkaller.It was found in linux-5.4 but it also could be reproduced in the latest linux version.

Here is the bug info:

ioctl$KVM_CREATE_PIT2(r1, 0x4040ae77, &(0x7f0000000040))
ioctl$KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP(r1, 0xae60)
ioctl$KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP(r1, 0xae60)
ioctl$KVM_SET_PIT2(r1, 0x4070aea0, &(0x7f0000000080))
BUG: memory leak

BUG: leak checking failed



And here is the reproduce code by syzkaller,the bug can be reproduced by open kmemleak config:
