Fix log locking problem when using fork() in the library
Ad pointed out by Dan Berrange: So if some thread in libvirtd is currently executing a logging call, while another thread calls virExec(), that other thread no longer exists in the child, but its lock is never released. So when the child then does virLogReset() it deadlocks. The only way I see to address this, is for the parent process to call virLogLock(), immediately before fork(), and then virLogUnlock() afterwards in both parent & child. This will ensure that no other thread can be holding the lock across fork(). * src/util/logging.[ch] src/libvirt_private.syms: export virLogLock() and virLogUnlock() * src/util/util.c: lock just before forking and unlock just after - in both parent and child.
