qemu: hotplug: Don't access srcPriv when it's not allocated

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: hotplug: Don't access srcPriv when it's not allocated

Posted by Peter Krempa 6 years, 10 months ago

The private data of a virStorageSource which is backing an iSCSI hostdev
may be NULL if no authentication is present. The code handling the
hotplug would attempt to extract the authentication info stored in
'secinfo' without checking if it is allocated which resulted in a crash.

Here we opt the easy way to check if srcPriv is not NULL so that we
don't duplicate all the logic which selects whether the disk source has
a secret.

Feels like we've done this before...

Specifically the former commit was not good enough to cover this case
despite touching this code.

Would it make sense to always allocate the
qemuDomainStorageSourcePrivate struct? We’d be wasting some memory, but
at the same time the code would be easier to read and less prone to
error. e.g. qemuDomainDeviceDiskDefPostParseRestoreSecAlias would be
simpler.

For the privateData of virConnect, virDomainVsockDef, virDisk,
virDomainVcpu… it’s implemented this way.

Anyway: Reviewed-by: Marc Hartmayer <mhartmay@linux.ibm.com> and thanks
for fixing it!

virStorageSource is not allocated using a helper so this would require
refactoring all allocations and passing in of the private data structure
which contains the callback to allocate the private data. I was thinking
about it but did not find fixing it compelling enough to do it myself.
