Cause: When parsing the domain XML with 'auto' numatune placement and a nodeset specified, the nodeset bitmap was freed twice.
Consequence: Libvirtd crashed due to double free.
Fix: Set the pointer to NULL after freeing it.
Result: Libvirtd doesn't crash anymore.

virDomainDefParseXML: set the argument of virBitmapFree to NULL after calling virBitmapFree
After freeing the bitmap pointer, it must set the pointer to NULL.
This will avoid any other use of the freed memory of the bitmap pointer.

Description of problem: The nodeset bitmap was freed when placement was auto, but the pointer wasn't set to NULL, leading to a double free when freeing the domain definition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6 Steps to Reproduce: 1. virsh define /dev/stdin <<EOF <domain type='qemu'> <name>duck</name> <memory unit='MiB'>32</memory> <numatune> <memory mode='preferred' placement='auto' nodeset='0'/> </numatune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type> </os> </domain> EOF 2. virsh undefine duck Actual results: error: Failed to undefine domain duck error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor Expected results: Domain duck has been undefined Additional info: Reported by Liuji (Jeremy) on libvir-list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/msg00337.html
