Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Bug fix: Allow sysinfo to display processor information

From: Prerna Saxena <prerna(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 17:05:37 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] On systems with dmidecode version 2.10 or older, dmidecode displays processor information, followed by BIOS, system and memory-DIMM details. Calls to virSysinfoParseBIOS(), virSysinfoParseSystem() would update the buffer pointer 'base', so the processor information would be lost before virSysinfoParseProcessor() was called. Sysinfo would therefore not be able to display processor details -- It only described <bios>, <system> and <memory_device> details. This patch attempts to insulate sysinfo from ordering of dmidecode output.

- base = outbuf; - - if ((base = virSysinfoParseBIOS(base, ret)) == NULL) + if ((virSysinfoParseBIOS(outbuf, ret)) == NULL) goto no_memory;
