Hi Laine,
If I use "Host device eth0: macvtap" virtual network interface in virt-manager, I must set virtual port profile data, right? if so, we need to judge whether these data aren't empty/NULL, for example:

Although libvirtd is alive, it's uncompleted correct, if calld->virtPortProfile is NULL then goto memory_error.
(In reply to comment #3) > Hi Laine, > If I use "Host device eth0: macvtap" virtual network interface in virt-manager, > I must set virtual port profile data, right? No, not necessarily. virtual port profile data is only needed for 802.1Qbg or 802.1Qbh types of interfaces. It isn't needed for straight 'bridge' mode, for example, and it is completely acceptable (and very common) for an interface to be one of the direct types, and have no virtPortProfile (in which case it will be NULL). > if so, we need to judge whether > these data aren't empty/NULL, for example: > > @@ -769,7 +769,7 @@ virNetDevMacVLanVPortProfileRegisterCallback(const char > *ifname, > goto memory_error; > if ((calld->cr_ifname = strdup(ifname)) == NULL) > goto memory_error; > - if (VIR_ALLOC(calld->virtPortProfile) < 0) > + if (!calld->virtPortProfile || VIR_ALLOC(calld->virtPortProfile) < 0) > goto memory_error; This change doesn't make sense. calld was just allocated, and VIR_ALLOC always nulls out the memory it allocates, so calld->virtPortProfile will always be NULL. Likewise, Michal posted a patch yesterday to add in a check for non-NULL virtPortProfile (the one passed as an arg to the function), but that is also pointless here, because it was already checked for non-NULL in the main if() at the top of the function: if (virtPortProfile && virNetlinkEventServiceIsRunning()) { The real source of this problem was that the prototype for virNetDevMacVLanVPortProfileRegisterCallback specified ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL() for virtPortProfile, which resulted in gcc optimizing out the (already existing) check for non-NULL virtPortProfile. There is a (very old) bug filed against gcc on this exact topic:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17308

util: fix crash when starting macvtap interfaces
This patch resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815270
The function virNetDevMacVLanVPortProfileRegisterCallback() takes an
arg "virtPortProfile", and was checking it for non-NULL before using
it. However, the prototype for
virNetDevMacVLanPortProfileRegisterCallback had marked that arg with
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(). Contrary to what one may think,
ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL() does not provide any guarantee that an arg marked
as such really is always non-null; the only effect to the code
generated by gcc, is that gcc *assumes* it is non-NULL; this results
in, for example, the check for a non-NULL value being optimized out.
(Unfortunately, this code removal only occurs when optimization is
enabled, and I am in the habit of doing local builds with optimization
off to ease debugging, so the bug didn't show up in my earlier local
testing).
In general, virPortProfile might always be NULL, so it shouldn't be
marked as ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL. One other function prototype made this
same error, so this patch fixes it as well.
Following the bug description steps, verify the bug with libvirt-0.9.10-16.el6.x86_64.

Created attachment 579455 [details] libvirtd's log file Description of problem: Libvirtd will die if start a guest with macvtap nic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.9.10-13.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch virt-manager 2. Start create a new virtual machine wizard. 3. Following the wizard to the step 4, then check the "Customize configuration before install" 4. Click "Finish", and change its NIC to Host device eth0:macvtap 5. Click "Begin Installation". Actual results: 1. After step 5, libvirtd service stoped. Following is the error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unable to complete install: 'Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 44, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1910, in do_install guest.start_install(False, meter=meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1223, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1291, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2400, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected results: 1.
