libvirt python is not correctly passing file descriptors to underlying virDomainCreateWithFiles

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

 



Dear All,

While working on a component handling container management I stumbled on a bug in the libvirt python bindings: basically the python bindings fail in properly translating the python file descriptor list to a native C array.
The primary symptom was that inside the container the file descriptors are created but mapped to '/dev/null' instead of the original file descriptors

This problem was discovered in libvirt 1.1.2 but the problem exists also in the current git head.

I'm attaching a simple patch fixing the bug, and re-establishing the expected behaviour.
I've also opened a bugzilla issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1021434

I hope this fix is acceptable and that it can be incorporated in the code base. :)
