Libvirt could crash with segfault if user issue "service reload" right after "service start". One possible way to crash libvirt is to run reload during initialization of QEMU driver. It could happen when qemu driver will initialize qemu_driver_lock but don't have a time to set it's "config" and the SIGHUP arrives. The reload handler tries to get qemu_drv->config during "virStorageAutostart" and dereference it which ends with segfault. Let's ignore all reload requests until all drivers are initialized. In addition set driversInitialized before we enter virStateCleanup to ignore reload request while we are shutting down.

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.

Description
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.
