The documentation of gobject signals reads: "If you are connecting handlers to signals and using a GObject instance as your signal handler user data, you should remember to pair calls to g_signal_connect() with calls to g_signal_handler_disconnect() or g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func(). While signal handlers are automatically disconnected when the object emitting the signal is finalised..." [1] This means that the signal handlers are automatically disconnected as soon as the `priv->mdevCtlMonitors` are finalised/released by `udevEventDataDispose`. But this also means that it's possible that new work is tried to be scheduled for the workerpool by the `mdevctlEventHandleCallback` (main thread context) even if the workerpool has already been stopped by `nodeStateShutdownWait`. To fully understand this, it's important to know that the main loop of the main thread is still running for some time even after `nodeStateShutdownPrepare` has been called. Let's avoid this situation by explicitly disconnect the signals during `nodeStateShutdownPrepare`, which is called in the main thread, so that no new work is attempted to be scheduled for the worker pool.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
