Re: [sdl-qemu] [PATCH 0/1] There are no checks, virDomainChrSourceDefNew can return 0

CC-ing qemu-devel with a patch solely for libvirt doesn't make sense.

Also 'libvirt-security' list is private and is is intended as a first
contact list for stuff to be embargoed. It makes little sense to include
it when posting to the public 'libvir-list'.

s/0/NULL

While very technically true, realistically that can't happen any more.

'virObjectNew' always returns a valid pointer or abort()s, and
VIR_CLASS_NEW can return 0 on programming errors.

Thus this is not a security issue.

Remove the extra empty lines please.

^^ This makes no sense. The commit you are referencing is changing a
shell script.
