This one's nasty. Ever since we fixed virHashForEach to prevent nested hash iterations for safety reasons (commit fba550f6), virDomainSnapshotDelete with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN has been broken for qemu: it deletes children, while leaving grandchildren intact but pointing to a no-longer-present parent. But even before then, the code would often appear to succeed to clean up grandchildren, but risked memory corruption if you have a large and deep hierarchy of snapshots. For acting on just children, a single virHashForEach is sufficient. But for acting on an entire subtree, it requires iteration; and since we declared recursion as invalid, we have to switch to a while loop. Doing this correctly requires quite a bit of overhaul, so I added a new helper function to isolate the algorithm from the actions, so that callers do not have to reinvent the iteration. Note that this _still_ does not handle CHILDREN correctly if one of the children is the current snapshot; that will be next. * src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainSnapshotDef): Add mark. (virDomainSnapshotForEachDescendant): New prototype. * src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_conf.h): Export it. * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotMarkDescendant) (virDomainSnapshotActOnDescendant) (virDomainSnapshotForEachDescendant): New functions. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDiscardChildren): Replace... (qemuDomainSnapshotDiscardDescenent): ...with callback that doesn't nest hash traversal. (qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Use new function.
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.
