whether or not previous return value is -1, the following codes will be executed for a inactive guest in qemuDomainSetMemoryParameters: ret = virDomainSaveConfig(driver->configDir, persistentDef); and if everything is okay, 'ret' is assigned to 0, the previous 'ret' will be overwritten, this patch will fix this issue. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: avoid return value is overwritten when set min_guarante value to a inactive guest. * how to reproduce? % virsh memtune ${guestname} --min_guarante 1024 % echo $? Note: guest must be inactive, in fact, 'min_guarante' hasn't been implemented in memory tunable, and I can get the error when check actual libvirtd.log, however, virsh hasn't raised any error information, and return value is 0.
