When running a simple, diskless 'kvm ./bzImage' KVM session we currently segfault at the end of the session: [ 4.895488] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [ 4.899371] Rebooting in 1 seconds.. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. disk_image__close (self=0x0) at disk-image.c:93 93 if (self->ops->close) (gdb) Because disk_image__close() assumes that 'self' is never NULL. Add a NULL check to allow a clean exit.
