Close/free a VM's binary stats cache when the VM is released, not when the
VM is fully freed. When a VM is re-created, e.g. for state save/restore
tests, the stats FD and descriptor points at the old, defunct VM. The FD
is still valid, in that the underlying stats file won't be freed until the
FD is closed, but reading stats will always pull information from the old
VM.
Note, this is a benign bug in the current code base as none of the tests
that recreate VMs use binary stats.

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 reStructuredText 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.
