Drivers: hv: avoid vfree() on crash
commit a9f61ca7 upstream. When we crash from NMI context (e.g. after NMI injection from host when 'sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1' is set) we hit kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1530! as vfree() is denied. While the issue could be solved with in_nmi() check instead I opted for skipping vfree on all sorts of crashes to reduce the amount of work which can cause consequent crashes. We don't really need to free anything on crash. [js] no tsc and kexec in 3.12 yet Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
