[libvirt] [PATCH 00/11] Replace virXXXFree calls with virObjectUnref

Based on some recent review comments and a bit of internal IRC, this set of patches will change all the existing virXXXFree calls found in daemon/* and src/* to be virObjectUnref instead and then add a rule to inhibit usage unless the string/call is found in docs/*, tests/*, examples/*, tools/*, cfg.mk, libvirt_public.syms, include/libvirt/libvirt-*.h, and src/libvirt-*.c Most of this was brute force to start with and adding the rule afterwards caught a few oddball places. The reason for not wanting to call a virXXXFree function is because it will reset the last error, potentially clearing something and resulting in a message "an error was encountered but the cause is unknown". There were some places in the code which saved the last error, called the free function, then restored the last error. Those have now been adjusted to avoid that processing. Anything that required checking for a non NULL pointer prior to calling the virXXXFree is now not necessary since the virObjectUnref will check for NULL before continuing; whereas, the virXXXFree functions didn't allow NULL. If usage of the virXXXFree function is found during syntax-check, a message such as the following will be displayed: include/libvirt/libvirt-storage.h:256:int virStoragePoolFree (virStoragePoolPtr pool); include/libvirt/libvirt-storage.h:336:int virStorageVolFree (virStorageVolPtr vol); maint.mk: avoid using virXXXFree, use virObjectUnref instead make: *** [sc_prohibit_virXXXFree] Error 1 John Ferlan (11): rpc: Replace virXXXFree with virObjectUnref Replace virDomainFree with virObjectUnref Replace virNetworkFree with virObjectUnref Replace virNodeDeviceFree with virObjectUnref Replace virStorageVolFree with virObjectUnref Replace virStoragePoolFree with virObjectUnref Replace virStreamFree with virObjectUnref Replace virSecretFree with virObjectUnref Replace virNWFilterFree with virObjectUnref Replace virInterfaceFree with virObjectUnref Replace virDomainSnapshotFree with virObjectUnref cfg.mk | 12 +++ daemon/remote.c | 168 ++++++++++++-------------------- daemon/stream.c | 2 +- src/conf/domain_event.c | 4 +- src/conf/network_conf.c | 6 +- src/conf/network_event.c | 2 +- src/conf/node_device_conf.c | 6 +- src/conf/storage_conf.c | 6 +- src/conf/virchrdev.c | 4 +- src/esx/esx_driver.c | 2 +- src/fdstream.c | 2 +- src/hyperv/hyperv_driver.c | 2 +- src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c | 6 +- src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c | 2 +- src/libxl/libxl_conf.c | 7 +- src/locking/sanlock_helper.c | 3 +- src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 8 +- src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 8 +- src/nwfilter/nwfilter_driver.c | 6 +- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 8 +- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 4 +- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 8 +- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 76 +++++++-------- src/rpc/gendispatch.pl | 17 ++-- src/secret/secret_driver.c | 6 +- src/storage/storage_backend.c | 4 +- src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c | 4 +- src/storage/storage_backend_rbd.c | 3 +- src/storage/storage_driver.c | 20 +--- src/uml/uml_conf.c | 2 +- src/vbox/vbox_common.c | 6 +- src/xenconfig/xen_common.c | 2 +- src/xenconfig/xen_sxpr.c | 2 +- 33 files changed, 155 insertions(+), 263 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3
