Description Alex Jia 2011-12-30 11:44:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Memory leaks on libvirt_virDomainGetSchedulerParameters and libvirt_virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags APIs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-python-0.9.9-0rc1.el6.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste the following codes into test.py:

import libvirt
con = libvirt.open(None)
dom = con.lookupByName('foo')
dom.schedulerParameters()
dom.schedulerParametersFlags(0)

2. valgrind -v --leak-check=full python test.py

Expected results:
Fix memory leaks.

Comment 1 Alex Jia 2012-02-14 07:21:17 UTC
The memory leaks have been fixed by refactoring python binding codes:

    python: make other APIs share common {get, set}PyVirTypedParameter

            *libvirt_virDomainBlockStatsFlags
            *libvirt_virDomainGetSchedulerParameters
            *libvirt_virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags
            *libvirt_virDomainSetSchedulerParameters

            *libvirt_virDomainSetMemoryParameters

            *libvirt_virDomainSetBlockIoTune
            *libvirt_virDomainGetBlockIoTune

So move it to POST status.

Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2012-02-17 07:28:34 UTC
This also made 0.9.10 so should be fixed in libvirt-0.9.10-1.el6

Tested with:
libvirt-python-0.9.10-1.el6.x86_64

valgrind result is attached.
Test passed.
