For guests backed by gluster volumes (or other network storage) we don't fill the backing chain (see qemuDomainDetermineDiskChain). This leaves the "relPath" field of the top image NULL. This causes a crash in virStorageFileChainLookup() when looking up a backing element for such a disk. Since I'm working on adding support for network storage and one of the steps will make the "relPath" field optional let's use STREQ_NULLABLE instead of STREQ in virStorageFileChainLookup() to avoid the problem. --- src/util/virstoragefile.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/util/virstoragefile.c b/src/util/virstoragefile.c index 2feda67..c9b6187 100644 --- a/src/util/virstoragefile.c +++ b/src/util/virstoragefile.c @@ -1591,7 +1591,7 @@ virStorageFileChainLookup(virStorageSourcePtr chain, if (idx == i) break; } else { - if (STREQ(name, chain->relPath)) + if (STREQ_NULLABLE(name, chain->relPath)) break; if (nameIsFile && (chain->type == VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_FILE || chain->type == VIR_STORAGE_TYPE_BLOCK)) { -- 1.9.3
