Jiri Denemark 6cc5c33eb5 threadpool: Switch to detached threads
Using joinable threads does not help anything, but it can lead to memory
leaks.

When a worker thread exits, it decreases nWorkers or nPrioWorkers and
once both nWorkers and nPrioWorkers are zero (i.e., the last worker is
gone), quit_cond is signaled. When freeing the pool we first tell all
threads to die and then we are waiting for both nWorkers and
nPrioWorkers to become zero. At this point we already know all threads
are gone. So the only reason for calling virThreadJoin of all workers is
to free the memory allocated for joinable threads. If we avoid
allocating this memory, we don't need to take care of freeing it.

Moreover, any memory associated with a worker thread which died before
we asked it to die (e.g., because virCondWait failed in the thread)
would be lost anyway since virThreadPoolFree calls virThreadJoin only
for threads which were running at the time virThreadPoolFree was called.

         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.
