When a device is opened by a userspace driver, via VFIO interface, DMA window is created. This DMA window has TCE Table and a corresponding data for userview of TCE table.
When the userspace driver closes the device, all the above infrastructure is free'ed and the device control given back to kernel. Both DMA window and TCE table is getting free'ed. But due to a code bug, userview of the TCE table is not getting free'ed. This is resulting in a memory leak.
