In adding support for the prefix in capabilities I found out one issue on the migration failure path leading to dereferencing a NULL pointer on the destination. If you agree could we squash the following chunk in addition to the cherry-pick of d2e5538: diff --git a/src/libxl/libxl_domain.c b/src/libxl/libxl_domain.c index 63c5b24..f73bfb3 100644 --- a/src/libxl/libxl_domain.c +++ b/src/libxl/libxl_domain.c @@ -768,7 +768,7 @@ libxlDomainCleanup(libxlDriverPrivatePtr driver, for (i = 0; i < vm->def->nnets; i++) { virDomainNetDefPtr net = vm->def->nets[i]; - if (STRPREFIX(net->ifname, "vif")) + if (net->ifname && STRPREFIX(net->ifname, "vif")) VIR_FREE(net->ifname); } } diff --git a/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c b/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c index 3f4457f..5479441 100644 --- a/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c +++ b/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c @@ -5590,7 +5590,7 @@ static virHypervisorDriver libxlHypervisorDriver = { .domainGetJobStats = libxlDomainGetJobStats, /* 1.3.1 */ .domainMemoryStats = libxlDomainMemoryStats, /* 1.3.0 */ .domainGetCPUStats = libxlDomainGetCPUStats, /* 1.3.0 */ - .domainInterfaceStats = libxlDomainInterfaceStats, /* 1.3.0 */ + .domainInterfaceStats = libxlDomainInterfaceStats, /* 1.3.2 */ .connectDomainEventRegister = libxlConnectDomainEventRegister, /* 0.9.0 */ .connectDomainEventDeregister = libxlConnectDomainEventDeregister, /* 0.9.0 */ .domainManagedSave = libxlDomainManagedSave, /* 0.9.2 */ Or do you think it should be deferred to 1.3.3 ?
