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. (cherry picked from commit 1413560966eb07732b56dc2b83215462533656e5)
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.
