Leak introduced in commit 0436d32. If we allocate an actions array,
but fail early enough to never consume it with the qemu monitor
transaction call, we leaked memory.
But our semantics of making the transaction command free the caller's
memory is awkward; avoiding the memory leak requires making every
intermediate function in the call chain check for error. It is much
easier to fix things so that the function that allocates also frees,
while the call chain leaves the caller's data intact. To do that,
I had to hack our JSON data structure to make it easy to protect a
portion of an arbitrary JSON tree from being freed.
* src/util/json.h (virJSONType): Name the enum.
(_virJSONValue): New field.
* src/util/json.c (virJSONValueFree): Use it to protect a portion
of an array.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONTransaction): Avoid
freeing caller's data.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive):
Free actions array on failure.
* src/util/json.c, src/util/json.h: Declare returned strings
to be const
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Wire up JSON mode for qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h: Fix
const correctness. Add missing error message in the function
qemuMonitorJSONGetAllPCIAddresses. Add implementation of the
qemuMonitorGetPtyPaths function calling 'query-chardev'.
This introduces simple API for handling JSON data. There is
an internal data structure 'virJSONValuePtr' which stores a
arbitrary nested JSON value (number, string, array, object,
nul, etc). There are APIs for constructing/querying objects
and APIs for parsing/formatting string formatted JSON data.
This uses the YAJL library for parsing/formatting from
http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/
* src/util/json.h, src/util/json.c: Data structures and APIs
for representing JSON data, and parsing/formatting it
* configure.in: Add check for yajl library
* libvirt.spec.in: Add build requires for yajl
* src/Makefile.am: Add json.c/h
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export JSON symbols to drivers
