Description Pasi Karkkainen 2009-10-28 09:37:26 UTC

Description of problem:
On F12/rawhide host with Xen and pv_ops dom0 kernel
"virsh list" and "virsh --connect xen:/// version" terminate with 
"virsh: error: failed to disconnect from the hypervisor" error.

The latter also gives a crash:
"*** glibc detected *** virsh: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0000000000936250 ***"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root f12test ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i libvirt
libvirt-python-0.7.1-13.fc12.x86_64
libvirt-0.7.1-13.fc12.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.7.1-13.fc12.x86_64

[root f12test ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i xen
kernel-2.6.31.4-1.2.73.xendom0.fc12.x86_64
xen-3.4.1-5.fc12.x86_64
xen-runtime-3.4.1-5.fc12.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.31.4-1.2.73.xendom0.fc12.x86_64
xen-libs-3.4.1-5.fc12.x86_64
xen-hypervisor-3.4.1-5.fc12.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F12/rawhide
2. Install Xen dom0 kernel and boot into Xen
3. run "virsh list" or "virsh --connect xen:/// version"
  
Actual results:
Errors and/or a virsh crash.

Expected results:
Works normally.

Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2009-10-29 10:42:38 UTC

Okay, AFAICT, these are the two fixes:

  http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=6ed7374c5a
  http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=1caa19cb06

I've pulled them into F-12 now:

* Thu Oct 29 2009 Mark McLoughlin <markmc> - 0.7.1-14
- Fix xen driver recounting (#531429)
- Fix crash on virsh error (#531429)
- Fix segfault where XML parsing fails in qemu disk hotplug
- Fix segfault where interface target device name is ommitted (#523418)

Will build and request tagging later

Comment 4 Pasi Karkkainen 2009-11-06 12:56:57 UTC

0.7.1-15 in rawhide seems to work OK with Xen.

Thanks again!
