Libvirt provides full path to the backing file since commit fec8f9c49afb479f6. This made qemu create the backend object but did not delete it. This was fixed for unplug case in 4d83a6722f but not in case of failure to hotplug the frontend. We'd leave the files behind which would make memory unusable in case of hugepages. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553085 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Differences to v1: - dropped mostly unhelpful comment - moved the call slightly earlier so that the error of the original hotplug operation is preserved src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c b/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c index e0a5300f08..49af4d4ff0 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c @@ -2212,6 +2212,10 @@ qemuDomainAttachMemory(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, ignore_value(qemuMonitorDelObject(priv->mon, objalias)); if (qemuDomainObjExitMonitor(driver, vm) < 0) mem = NULL; + + if (objAdded && mem) + ignore_value(qemuProcessDestroyMemoryBackingPath(driver, vm, mem)); + virErrorRestore(&orig_err); if (!mem) goto audit; -- 2.16.2 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
