We can receive NULL as sync reply in two situations. First is garbage sync reply and this situation is handled by resending sync message. Second is different cases of rebooting guest, destroing domain etc and we can give more meaningful error message. Actually we have this error message in qemuAgentCommand already which checks for the same sitatuion. AFAIK case with mon->running is just to be safe on adding some future(?) cases of returning NULL reply. --- src/qemu/qemu_agent.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_agent.c b/src/qemu/qemu_agent.c index 8f47618..8aea3c4 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_agent.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_agent.c @@ -992,8 +992,12 @@ qemuAgentGuestSync(qemuAgentPtr mon) memset(&sync_msg, 0, sizeof(sync_msg)); goto retry; } else { - virReportError(VIR_ERR_AGENT_UNSYNCED, "%s", - _("Missing monitor reply object")); + if (mon->running) + virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", + _("Missing monitor reply object")); + else + virReportError(VIR_ERR_AGENT_UNRESPONSIVE, "%s", + _("Guest agent disappeared while executing command")); goto cleanup; } } -- 1.8.3.1 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
