From f937ef18118e499e5049bca012bed51ccc5d2b3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: From: Jiri Denemark Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 16:02:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qemu: Don't leak reference to virQEMUDriverConfigPtr https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1011330 (case D) qemuProcessStart created two references to virQEMUDriverConfigPtr before calling fork(): cfg = virQEMUDriverGetConfig(driver); ... hookData.cfg = virObjectRef(cfg); However, the child only unreferenced hookData.cfg and the parent only removed the cfg reference. That said, we don't need to increment the reference counter when assigning cfg to hookData. Both the child and the parent will correctly remove the reference on cfg (the child will do that through hookData).
