I don't think those patches got memory allocation / deallocation of XDR structures right. Not surprising really since it's totally undocumented! In a bid to rectify this, I have documented how to do it here:

Nice. BTW on the subject of record streams - xdrrec_create - while very
nice looking on the surface, it is utterly useless because the impl
relies on the underlying FD / socket being in blocking mode. If you use
non-blocking sockets marshalling/de-marshalling will fail on the first
-EAGAIN the routines see, and they have no way to restart where they left off. This is why I serialized to/from a xdrmem buffer, and then used
my own read/write code to send to the socket where I could correctly deal
with non-blocking mode.

Oh right - that totally passed me by. When are you using non-blocking sockets? I was under the impression they were all blocking in qemu_internal / libvirt_qemud.

Rich.
