Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The _python-rbd_ _list_snaps()_ method no longer segfaults after an error This issue was discovered with OpenStack Cinder Backup when `rados_connect_timeout` was set. Normally the timeout is not enabled. If the cluster was highly loaded the timeout could be reached, causing the segfault. With this update to {product}, if the timeout is reached a segfault no longer occurs.

rbd_snap_list_end() segfaults if rbd_snap_list() fails

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

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an instance of `SnapIterator` using librbd's python binding in a very busy cluster, and rbd_snap_list() returns with ETIMEOUT
2. and `SnapIterator.__dealloc__()` gets called.


Actual results:

SIGSEGV is received. and the program crashes.

Manohar, see the first comment in this bz

SnapIterator's constructor calls `rbd_snap_list()`, and its destructor calls rbd_snap_list_end(). i think what you need is to 

1. # unplug the network cable or whatever way to cut down the connection between your testbed to cluster
2. snap_it = SnapIterator(image)
3  del snap_it
