virFileReadLimFD is a poor fit for reading the header of the restore file. The problem is that virFileReadLimFD returns an error when there is more data after the amount you ask to read, but that is *expected* in this case. This patch is essentially a revert of 1a4d5c9543641c444dccd682f6256ee3faf22a80, but I don't think that commit does what it says anyway. It purports to prevent an unwarranted OOM error, but since virFileReadLimFD will allocate memory up to the maximum anyway, the upper limit on the total amount of memory allocated is the same for either the old version or the new version. Since the old saferead actually works and virFileReadLimFD does not, revert to using saferead. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@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.
