Re: [libvirt] RHBZ 1013045: Crash on xen domain startup

Hi all, I posted this bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013045) to the Redhat Bugzilla a while ago, and the only response has been to post a note to this list about the bug. Summary below, but it looks like a pretty clear use-after-free or something. The full details are attached to the bug report.

Thanks, J -- Description of problem: When starting a Xen domain with libvirt + libxl, it crashes after creating the domain. The domain is left in a paused state, and works fine if manually unpaused with xl unpause. virt-manager never shows the domain as running. [...] Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open virt-manager 2. Connect to localhost (xen) 3. Start a domain Actual results: Domain is created in a paused state, virt-manager shows errors about losing connection to the daemon. Logs show libvirtd crashed. Expected results: Domain creation.
