Subject: [PATCH qemu v2 5/9] savevm-async: drop QIOChannel reference
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:47:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907094744.131193-6-e.fastermann@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907094744.131193-1-e.fastermann@proxmox.com>
qemu_file_new_impl() takes its own reference and qemu_fclose() drops
exactly one, so the reference from qio_channel_savevm_async_new() was
never released. The channel also holds a BlockBackend reference that
only its finalizer drops, so both leaked on every snapshot.
