Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] virsh: Remove <backingStore> when changing cdrom media source

Since the code is changing the source image path by modifying the existing XML snippet the <backingStore> stays in place. As <backingStore> is relevant to the <source> part of the image, the update of that part makes the element invalid. CD/floppy images usually don't have a backing chain and the element is currently ignored though but it might start being used in the future so let's start behaving correctly. Drop the <backingStore> subtree once we want to update the XML. Before this patch, you'd get: $ virsh change-media --eject --print-xml 10 hdc <disk type="file" device="cdrom"> <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2"/> <backingStore type="file" index="1"> <format type="qcow2"/> <source file="/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm.1436949097"/> <backingStore/> </backingStore> <target dev="hdc" bus="ide"/> ... </disk> After: $ virsh change-media --eject --print-xml 10 hdc <disk type="file" device="cdrom"> <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2"/> <target dev="hdc" bus="ide"/> ... </disk> --- Notes: v2: - adapted to new version of code - fixed use after free from previous version - added more text to commit message tools/virsh-domain.c | 12 +++++++++++- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
