From c012e0f7fa80f5efd31f5d89fa7685a713a20d13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Privoznik Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 10:59:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virSecurityManagerMetadataLock: Skip over duplicate paths MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If there are two paths on the list that are the same we need to lock it only once. Because when we try to lock it the second time then open() fails. And if it didn't, locking it the second time would fail for sure. After all, it is sufficient to lock all paths just once satisfy the caller. Reported-by: Daniel Henrique Barboza Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
