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.

Michal Privoznik 3426bc5882 vircgroup: Don't leak @parent in virCgroupEnableMissingControllers()
A memory leak was identified in
virCgroupEnableMissingControllers():

==11680==    by 0x4E51780: g_malloc0 (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.6701.0)

==11680==    by 0x169B8776: qemuDomainCreateWithFlags (qemu_driver.c:6641)

What happens is that new virCgroup is created and stored into
@parent. Then, if @tokens is not empty the for() loop is entered
into where another virCgroup is created and @parent is replaced
with this new virCgroup. But nothing freed the old @parent.

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.
