Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] virBitmapFree: Change the function to a macro

The parameter of virBitmapFree function is just a pointer, not a pointer of pointer. The second VIR_FREE on virBitmapFree only assign NULL to the formal parameter. After calling the virBitmapFree function, the actual parameter are still not NULL. There are many code segment don't assign NULL to the formal parameter after calling the virBitmapFree function. This will bring potential risks. A problem scenario: 1) The XML of VM contain the below segment: <numatune> <memory mode='preferred' placement='auto' nodeset='0'/> </numatune> 2)virsh create the VM 3)In the virDomainDefParseXML funtion: /* Ignore 'nodeset' if 'placement' is 'auto' finally */ if (placement_mode == VIR_NUMA_TUNE_MEM_PLACEMENT_MODE_AUTO) { virBitmapFree(def->numatune.memory.nodemask); def->numatune.memory.nodemask = NULL; } 4)Then, virsh destroy the VM. In the virDomainDefFree funtion, it also call the virBitmapFree function to free the nodemask: virBitmapFree(def->numatune.memory.nodemask); But after this call, the value of def->numatune.memory.nodemask is still not NULL. This will generate an exception. >From d2b69b130bca89df85005d395c6d45d8df0b74f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Liuji (Jeremy)" <jeremy.liu(a)huawei.com&gt; Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2013 04:49:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] virBitmapFree: Change the function to a macro The parameter of virBitmapFree function is just a pointer, not a pointer of pointer.
