Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] curl: Don't deref NULL pointer in call to aio_poll.
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 09:04:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1409213061-15562-2-git-send-email-rjones@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1409213061-15562-1-git-send-email-rjones@redhat.com>
In commit 63f0f45f2e89b60ff8245fec81328ddfde42a303 the following
mechanical change was made:
if (!state) {
- qemu_aio_wait();
+ aio_poll(state->s->aio_context, true);
}
The new code now checks if state is NULL and then dereferences it
('state->s') which is obviously incorrect.
This commit replaces state->s->aio_context with
bdrv_get_aio_context(bs), fixing this problem. The two other hunks
are concerned with getting the BlockDriverState pointer bs to where it
is needed.
The original bug causes a segfault when using libguestfs to access a
VMware vCenter Server and doing any kind of complex read-heavy
operations. With this commit the segfault goes away.
