[PATCH 05/14] driver: fix handling of error return from finding resource

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The virFileFindResource method merely builds up the expected fully
qualified path to the resource. It does not actually check if it exists
on disk. The loadable module callers were mistakenly thinking a NULL
indicates the file doesn't exist on disk, whereas it in fact indicates
an out of memory error.
