Hi Daniel, I also met similar issue when I ran libvirt unit test yesterday, In addition, the case 'read-bufsiz' will be hung forever unless typing ctrl+c to sends a SIGINT signal to the process. <snip> PASS: read-bufsiz FAIL: read-non-seekable PASS: start ./undefine: line 49: 26790 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $abs_top_builddir/tools/virsh -q -c test:///default 'dominfo 1; undefine 1; dominfo 1' > out1 2>&1 --- exp 2011-12-13 15:22:59.076222906 +0800 </snip> Regards, Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel P.

The reason is that when the virConnectPtr is free'd this in turn frees the event state, which in turn unregisters the event timer. The timer may, however, still fire one last time and it is possible this occurs after the event state has been freed. The solution in this series is to only register the timer when the first callback is added and unregister the timer, when the last callback is removed. In doing this patch, I decide to unify more of the event handling across drivers, and simplify the API usage by drivers, and hide all the impl details. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
