After v6.5.0-rc1~148 we started to rectify vCPU to guest NUMA assignment - if there is a vCPU not assigned to any guest NUMA node it is automatically assigned to node #0. A month later I've made it possible to define guest NUMA nodes without vCPUs (v6.6.0-rc1~250) - this is needed because of HMAT. As a part of that I fixed all callers of virDomainNumaGetNodeCpumask() (which returns a bitmap of vCPUs for given node) to handle case when NULL is returned (i.e. no vCPUs assigned to given node). But of course my patch was written before aforementioned vCPU rectify patch but merged afterwards and hence I missed the virDomainNumaFillCPUsInNode() caller. And because we are dealing with a NULL pointer, of course this leads to a crash. Just try to define a domain with at least two NUMA nodes and no vCPU assignment to any of the nodes.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
