True - a bug fix insomuch as either caller is concerned, but yet still found by Coverity as a RESOURCE_LEAK initially and then me as I was reading the code... I think the primary way to hit the bug would have been through a *alloc()/strdup() failure though. > The usage of get_disk_pool in the method diskpool_set_capacity checks > for the return value and being !=0 it is considered an error > (Virt_DevicePool.c line 324). Doesn't that need to get changed in this > patch? I don't think so. Prior to my change/cleanup if anything failed in get_pool_from_xml(), then diskpool_set_capacity() could wrongly or even partially set the properties for "Path", "Host", "SourceDirectory", and "OtherResourceType". Although perhaps only the type would be wrong, since all others actually check for non NULL fields before strdup() and CMSetProperty() calls. Thus perhaps "path" could be set, but host and source directory not due to memory constraints, or some combination of the 3. Probably not a good thing to be happening. Of course there are those that contend that if you're that memory constrained, the code isn't going much further anyway... In any case, all my change does is acknowledge and return the failure which the caller already handled properly. FWIW: For context Line 324 in diskpool_set_capacity(): if (get_disk_pool(pool, &pool_vals) != 0) { CU_DEBUG("Error getting pool path for: %s", _pool->tag); } else { if (pool_vals->pool_info.disk.path != NULL) { pool_str = strdup(pool_vals->pool_info.disk.path); CMSetProperty(inst, "Path", (CMPIValue *)pool_str, CMPI_chars); } ...

It's unnecessary technically. One used to fail on "ret == 1" and the other when "ret != 0". Now both fail in the ret != 0 case. It's the "Type A personality" in me that does that.
