https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892079 One of my previous patches (f2a4e5f176c408) tried to fix crashing libvirtd on domain detroy. However, we need to copy pattern from qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF() instead of decrementing reference counter. The rationale for this is, if qemu process is dying due to domain being destroyed, we obtain EOF on both the monitor and agent sockets. However, if the exit is expected, qemuProcessStop is called, which cleans both agent and monitor sockets up. We want qemuAgentClose() to be called iff the EOF is not expected, so we don't leak an FD and memory. --- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c index 2f08215..b212752 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c @@ -133,8 +133,15 @@ qemuProcessHandleAgentEOF(qemuAgentPtr agent, virObjectLock(vm); priv = vm->privateData; - if (priv->agent == agent && - !virObjectUnref(priv->agent)) + + if (priv->beingDestroyed) { + VIR_DEBUG("Domain is being destroyed, agent EOF is expected"); + virObjectUnlock(vm); + qemuDriverUnlock(driver); + return; + } + + if (priv->agent == agent) priv->agent = NULL; virObjectUnlock(vm); -- 1.8.0.2
