Description Alex Jia 2011-12-30 11:44:49 UTC
Description of problem:
Memory leak on libvirt_virDomainGetMemoryParameters API.

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.memoryParameters(0)

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

Comment 1 Alex Jia 2012-02-14 07:19:56 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

So move it to POST status.

Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2012-02-17 07:25:14 UTC
That actually made 0.9.10 release so should be fixed in libvirt-0.9.10-1.el6

Comment 4 zhpeng 2012-02-17 07:45:17 UTC
Tested with:
libvirt-python-0.9.10-1.el6.x86_64

valgrind result is attached.
Test passed.
