libxl: Avoid possible use of uninitialized mem in libxlDomainStart
The 'libxl_domain_config' object is stack allocated which means its memory contents are undefined. The libxl_domain_config_dispose() call is only safe if the memory is initialized to a defined state. Not all code paths which reach libxl_domain_config_dispose() will ensure that libxl_domain_config_init() is called. Move the libxl_domain_config_init() call earlier in the function to ensure all codepaths have defined memory state. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
