[Qemu-devel] [PULL 10/12] 9pfs: fix memory leak in v9fs_xattrcreate

[Greg Kurz]

From: Li Qiang <address@hidden>

The 'fs.xattr.value' field in V9fsFidState object doesn't consider the
situation that this field has been allocated previously. Every time, it
will be allocated directly. This leads to a host memory leak issue if
the client sends another Txattrcreate message with the same fid number
before the fid from the previous time got clunked.
