ppc64Compute(), called by cpuNodeData(), is used not only to retrieve the driver-specific data associated to a guest CPU definition, but also to check whether said guest CPU is compatible with the host CPU. If the user is not interested in the CPU data, it's perfectly fine to pass a NULL pointer instead of a return location, and the compatibility data returned should not be affected by this. One of the checks, specifically the one on CPU model name, was however only performed if the return location was non-NULL. --- src/cpu/cpu_ppc64.c | 31 +++++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cpu/cpu_ppc64.c b/src/cpu/cpu_ppc64.c index 5921263..53d8fb0 100644 --- a/src/cpu/cpu_ppc64.c +++ b/src/cpu/cpu_ppc64.c @@ -407,26 +407,25 @@ ppc64Compute(virCPUDefPtr host, !(guest_model = ppc64ModelFromCPU(cpu, map))) goto cleanup; - if (guestData) { - if (cpu->type == VIR_CPU_TYPE_GUEST && - cpu->match == VIR_CPU_MATCH_STRICT && - STRNEQ(guest_model->name, host_model->name)) { - VIR_DEBUG("host CPU model does not match required CPU model %s", - guest_model->name); - if (message && - virAsprintf(message, - _("host CPU model does not match required " - "CPU model %s"), - guest_model->name) < 0) - goto cleanup; - - ret = VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE; + if (cpu->type == VIR_CPU_TYPE_GUEST && + cpu->match == VIR_CPU_MATCH_STRICT && + STRNEQ(guest_model->name, host_model->name)) { + VIR_DEBUG("host CPU model does not match required CPU model %s", + guest_model->name); + if (message && + virAsprintf(message, + _("host CPU model does not match required " + "CPU model %s"), + guest_model->name) < 0) goto cleanup; - } + ret = VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE; + goto cleanup; + } + + if (guestData) if (!(*guestData = ppc64MakeCPUData(arch, &guest_model->data))) goto cleanup; - } ret = VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL; -- 2.4.3 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
