After eca76884ea in case of error in qemuDomainSetPrivatePaths() in pretended start we jump to stop. I've changed this during review from 'cleanup' which turned out to be correct. Well, sort of. We can't call qemuProcessStop() as it decrements driver->nactive and we did not increment it. However, it calls virDomainObjRemoveTransientDef() which is basically the only function we need to call. So call that function and goto cleanup; Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c index df1fa0371..9306e0e18 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_process.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_process.c @@ -4758,8 +4758,10 @@ qemuProcessInit(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, goto cleanup; if (flags & VIR_QEMU_PROCESS_START_PRETEND) { - if (qemuDomainSetPrivatePaths(driver, vm) < 0) - goto stop; + if (qemuDomainSetPrivatePaths(driver, vm) < 0) { + virDomainObjRemoveTransientDef(vm); + goto cleanup; + } } else { vm->def->id = qemuDriverAllocateID(driver); qemuDomainSetFakeReboot(driver, vm, false); -- 2.11.0 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
