From f21d49144fadf6fbe2fa0d846228a4f7e3713953 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laine Stump Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 13:52:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] test: fix potential lock corruption in test driver In some error situations, the function testDomainRestoreFlags() could unlock the test driver mutex without first locking it. This patch moves the lock operation earlier, so that it occurs before any potential jump down to the unlock call. I found this problem while auditing the test driver lock usage to determine the cause of a hang while running the following test: cd tests; while true; do printf x; ./undefine; done This patch *does not* solve that problem, but we now understand its actual source, and danpb is working on a patch. --- src/test/test_driver.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/test/test_driver.c b/src/test/test_driver.c index ce94a17a56..89f7df1171 100644 --- a/src/test/test_driver.c +++ b/src/test/test_driver.c @@ -1861,6 +1861,8 @@ testDomainRestoreFlags(virConnectPtr conn, return -1; } + testDriverLock(privconn); + if ((fd = open(path, O_RDONLY)) < 0) { virReportSystemError(errno, _("cannot read domain image '%s'"), @@ -1900,7 +1902,6 @@ testDomainRestoreFlags(virConnectPtr conn, } xml[len] = '\0'; - testDriverLock(privconn); def = virDomainDefParseString(privconn->caps, xml, 1 << VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_TEST, VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE);
