From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; The 'error' cleanup block in qemuProcessReconnect() had a 'return' statement in the middle of it. This caused a leak of virConnectPtr & virQEMUDriverConfigPtr instances. This was identified because netcf recently started checking its refcount in libvirtd shutdown: netcfStateCleanup:109 : internal error: Attempt to close netcf state driver with open connections Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
