Commit 56dcdec1ac81 ("conf: reject duplicate virtiofs tags") added validation code to reject duplicated virtiofs tags. But the <target> element is not always present, meaning that fs->dst can be NULL at that point. If there is no "<target>" tag then the validation will fail in virHashAddEntry() because fs->dst will be NULL. This is tested in qemuxml2xml vhost-user-fs-sock, which is since then not passing: 1020) QEMU XML-2-XML-inactive vhost-user-fs-sock ... Expected result code=0 but received code=1 FAILED 1021) QEMU XML-2-XML-active vhost-user-fs-sock ... Expected result code=0 but received code=1 FAILED The '<target>' tag is not mandatory, so let's consider that fs->dst being NULL is a feasible scenario an adapt virDomainDefFSValidate() accordingly.
