This patch fixes a problem that encoded xml special charas of cpu model, vendor_id and vendor are saved as decoded xml special charas. If I define model name including encoded xml special charas in domain XML like below: <domain> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>><</model> </cpu> </domain> domain xml definition file is saved as <domain> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>><</model> </cpu> </domain> After that, if libvirtd is restarted, dumpxml command, edit command and etc. are disabled with below error until I stop libvirtd and fix the xml file manually. 2012-12-20 04:56:54.371+0000: 11893: error : catchXMLError:691 : /etc/libvirt/qemu/f17.xml:25: StartTag: invalid element name <model fallback='allow'>><</model> ------------------------------^ Also vendor_id and vendor have same problem.
