Possible crasher: startFrom can be NULL here, rather move the check
into the previous block where the parent is being set when found (idx
can't be < i when there is no startFrom anyway).  You can then avoid
cleaning up the *parent here -+

                  v

Actually right at the beginning of the function @parent gets filled by a
pointer to a local virStorageSource pointer (stack allocated) in case
the caller passed NULL as @parent. This allows to use the variable since
it is used in the lookup loop even if the user doesn't pass it.


Yeah, but I was talking about startFrom->path sigsegv-ing if
startFrom == NULL.

Don't worry, I had the same thought when I wrote the condition :)


Don't worry, I know people sometime misunderstand me ;)
