The memory allocation in b666a4b697 ("kvm: x86: Dynamically allocate
guest_fpu", 2018-11-06) is wrong, there are other members in struct fpu
before the fpregs_state union and the patch should be doing something
similar to the code in fpu__init_task_struct_size. It's enough to run
a guest and then rmmod kvm to see slub errors which are actually caused
by memory corruption.
For now let's revert it to sizeof(struct fpu), which is conservative.
I have plans to move fsave/fxsave/xsave directly in KVM, without using
the kernel FPU helpers, and once it's done, the size of the object in
the cache will be something like kvm_xstate_size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
