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 5a791c8995 qemuDomainBlockStatsFlags: Guard disk lookup with a domain job
When there are two concurrent threads, we may dereference a NULL
pointer, even though it has been checked before:

1. Thread1: starts executing qemuDomainBlockStatsFlags() with nparams != 0.
            It finds given disk and successfully pass check for disk->info.alias
            not being NULL.
2. Thread2: starts executing qemuDomainDetachDeviceFlags() on the very same
            disk as Thread1 is working on.
3. Thread1: gets to qemuDomainObjBeginJob() where it sets a job on a
            domain.
4. Thread2: also tries to set a job. However, we are not guaranteed which
            thread wins. So assume it's Thread2 who can continue.
5. Thread2: does the actual detach and frees disk->info.alias
6. Thread2: quits the job
7. Thread1: now successfully acquires the job, and accesses a NULL pointer.

         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.
