We need to use the 'name' variable and just overwrite it with the FD number when FDs are passed on the monitor. Otherwise we will read NULL path if the FD is accessed before being passed on the monitor. The idea of this helper is to simplify the monitor code so it would be counterproductive to have other behaviour. Fixes the following symptom: $ virsh attach-interface cd network default --model virtio error: Failed to attach interface error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'netdev_add': File descriptor named '(null)' has not been found Fixes: bca9047906fd73fd30f275dd45b64998fbbcf6de Resolves: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/318 Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2092856 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/qemu/qemu_fd.c | 8 +++----- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_fd.c b/src/qemu/qemu_fd.c index 6311161657..51a8133fde 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_fd.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_fd.c @@ -235,7 +235,6 @@ qemuFDPassGetPath(qemuFDPass *fdpass) struct _qemuFDPassDirect { int fd; - char *path; char *name; bool passed; /* passed to qemu via monitor */ @@ -251,7 +250,6 @@ qemuFDPassDirectFree(qemuFDPassDirect *fdpass) VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(fdpass->fd); g_free(fdpass->name); - g_free(fdpass->path); g_free(fdpass); } @@ -295,7 +293,8 @@ qemuFDPassDirectTransferCommand(qemuFDPassDirect *fdpass, return; virCommandPassFD(cmd, fdpass->fd, VIR_COMMAND_PASS_FD_CLOSE_PARENT); - fdpass->path = g_strdup_printf("%d", fdpass->fd); + g_free(fdpass->name); + fdpass->name = g_strdup_printf("%d", fdpass->fd); fdpass->fd = -1; } @@ -318,7 +317,6 @@ qemuFDPassDirectTransferMonitor(qemuFDPassDirect *fdpass, if (qemuMonitorSendFileHandle(mon, fdpass->name, fdpass->fd) < 0) return -1; - fdpass->path = g_strdup(fdpass->name); VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(fdpass->fd); fdpass->passed = true; @@ -358,5 +356,5 @@ qemuFDPassDirectGetPath(qemuFDPassDirect *fdpass) if (!fdpass) return NULL; - return fdpass->path; + return fdpass->name; } -- 2.35.3
