Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Nikolay Shirokovskiy 1e93470df0 qemu: qemuDomainRename and virDomainObjListNumOfDomains ABBA deadlock fix
A pretty nasty deadlock occurs while trying to rename a VM in parallel
with virDomainObjListNumOfDomains.
The short description of the problem is as follows:

Thread #1:

qemuDomainRename:
    ------> aquires domain lock by qemuDomObjFromDomain
       ---------> waits for domain list lock in any of the listed functions:
          - virDomainObjListFindByName
          - virDomainObjListRenameAddNew
          - virDomainObjListRenameRemove

Thread #2:

virDomainObjListNumOfDomains:
    ------> aquires domain list lock
       ---------> waits for domain lock in virDomainObjListCount

Introduce generic virDomainObjListRename function for renaming domains.
It aquires list lock in right order to avoid deadlock. Callback is used
to make driver specific domain updates.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
