[libvirt] [PATCH] Allows for a <description> tag for domains
by Daniel Veillard
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523639
feature request which makes sense to me, the simple patch attached
seems to be sufficient, one can define and have the description back
in the dump. Doesn't try to keep the location of the tag, it always
get serialized after <uuid>.
The only drawbacks I can think of are:
- others XML formats may require the same, but honnestly it's trivial
- machine generated description (for example if the history log of
a domain gets stored there) could grow a lot and I wonder if we
have a hard limit on the size when transmitting xml descriptions
Oh and I didn't found a good place to test the feature, i.e. no test
seems to parse and reserialize XML it's always about conversions.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Avoid a libvirtd crash on broken input 523418
by Daniel Veillard
A simple typo in an XML domain file could lead to a crash, because
we called STRPREFIX() on the looked up value without checking it was
non-null. Patch is trivial, and should go in but I wonder if we
shouldn't make those STR macros safer too like turning
#define STRPREFIX(a,b) (strncmp((a),(b),strlen((b))) == 0)
into
#define STRPREFIX(a,b) ((a) && (b) && (strncmp((a),(b),strlen((b))) == 0))
anyway I think we should apply the patch independently, without it
libvirtd crash, with it we get the proper error report:
[root@paphio ~]# virsh define RHEL-5.4-64.xml
18:32:21.982: warning : processCallDispatchReply:7570 : Method call
error
error: Failed to define domain from RHEL-5.4-64.xml
error: internal error No <source> 'dev' attribute specified with
