Summary

In the Linux kernel, KVM arm64 has an issue with accounting long-term memory pins for protected guests (pKVM). The fix moves the charge from the current process to the kvm's mm to avoid errors during teardown.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to incorrect memory accounting, potentially causing memory leaks or system crashes.

Recommendation

Install the Linux kernel patch for KVM arm64 that moves the pin charge to the kvm's mm.
