It's not true, that a copy is made in virDomainLiveConfigHelperMethod, only a reference to domain definition is returned. The problem is that we free vmdef at the end of the API which might not result in a desired behavior, let's consider an inactive persistent domain and you try to set one of scheduler params, instead of modifying an freeing a copy, you manipulate and free the original instance, what happens then? Yep, daemon crashes in the next API (OK, not every time, it requires a bit of luck but after a couple of minutes I managed to do that as well).
