[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 04/24] Correctly free nd structure

[Mark McLoughlin]

From: Glauber Costa <address@hidden>

When we "free" a NICInfo structure, we can leak pointers, since we don't do
much more than setting used = 0.

We free() the model parameter, but we don't set it to NULL. This means that
a new user of this structure will see garbage in there. It was not noticed
before because reusing a NICInfo is not that common, but it can be, for
users of device pci hotplug.

A user hit it, described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/524022

This patch memset's the whole structure, guaranteeing that anyone reusing it
will see a fresh NICinfo. Also, we free some other strings that are currently
leaking.

This codebase is quite old, so this patch should feed all stable trees.
