[PATCH 0/2] Revert parts of g_steal_pointer() rewrite

A few hours ago, I've merged a patch that uses g_steal_pointer() instead of its opened coded alternative. Well, turns out that some areas are more fragile and rely on the open coded version. https://gitlab.com/MichalPrivoznik/libvirt/-/pipelines/275871589 Michal Prívozník (2): virnetsocket: Revert part of g_steal_pointer() rewrite lib: Undo some g_steal_pointer() changes src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 9 ++++++--- src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 12 ++++++++---- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ src/rpc/virnetsocket.c | 3 ++- 4 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) -- 2.26.2

Turns out, the way that glib implements g_steal_pointer() is not compatible with function callbacks. And that's what my recent patch did in virNetSocketEventFree(). Revert that part.

Recently, a few commits back I've switched bunch of code to g_steal_pointer() using coccinelle. Problem was that the semantic patch used was slightly off: @@ expression a, b; @@ + b = g_steal_pointer(&a); - b = a; ... when != a - a = NULL; Problem is that, "... when != a" is supposed to jump over those lines, which don't contain expression a. My idea was to replace the following pattern too: ptrX = ptrY; if (something(ptrZ) < 0) goto error; ptrY = NULL; But what I missed is that the following pattern is also matched and replaced: ptrX = ptrY; if (something(ptrX) < 0) goto error; ptrY = NULL; This is not necessarily correct - as demonstrated by our hotplug code. The real problem is ambiguous memory ownership transfer (functions which add device to domain def take ownership only on success), but to not tackle the real issue let's revert those parts.

Reviewed-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> but note that I didn't comprehensively check the patch that broke things that you've fixed all instances.
