Commit e9b534905f4 introduced an error when parsing an empty list returned from mdevctl. This occurs e.g. if nodedev-undefine is used to undefine the last defined mdev which causes the following error messages libvirtd[33143]: internal error: Unexpected format for mdevctl response libvirtd[33143]: internal error: failed to query mdevs from mdevctl: libvirtd[33143]: mdevctl failed to updated mediated devices Signed-off-by: Boris Fiuczynski <fiuczy(a)linux.ibm.com&gt; Reviewed-by: Shalini Chellathurai Saroja <shalini(a)linux.ibm.com&gt; Reviewed-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/node_device/node_device_driver.c | 6 ++++++ tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.json | 1 + tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.out.xml | 0 tests/nodedevmdevctltest.c | 1 + 4 files changed, 8 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.json create mode 100644 tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.out.xml diff --git a/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c b/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c index 17a7aea2bb..6f8968f1f0 100644 --- a/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c +++ b/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c @@ -1139,6 +1139,12 @@ nodeDeviceParseMdevctlJSON(const char *jsonstring, goto error; } + if (virJSONValueArraySize(json_devicelist) == 0) { + VIR_DEBUG("mdevctl has no defined mediated devices"); + *devs = NULL; + return 0; + } + /* mdevctl list --dumpjson produces an output that is an array that * contains only a single object which contains a property for each parent * device */ diff --git a/tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.json b/tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..fe51488c70 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.json @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +[] diff --git a/tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.out.xml b/tests/nodedevmdevctldata/mdevctl-list-empty.out.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e69de29bb2 diff --git a/tests/nodedevmdevctltest.c b/tests/nodedevmdevctltest.c index 8ba1d2da70..e246de4d87 100644 --- a/tests/nodedevmdevctltest.c +++ b/tests/nodedevmdevctltest.c @@ -360,6 +360,7 @@ mymain(void) DO_TEST_LIST_DEFINED(); + DO_TEST_PARSE_JSON("mdevctl-list-empty"); DO_TEST_PARSE_JSON("mdevctl-list-multiple"); DO_TEST_DEFINE("mdev_d069d019_36ea_4111_8f0a_8c9a70e21366");
