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.

The nwfilter conf update mutex previously serialized
updates to the internal data structures for firewall
rules, and updates to the firewall itself. The latter
was recently turned into a read/write lock, and filter
instantiation allowed to proceed in parallel. It was
believed that this was ok, since each filter is created
on a separate iptables/ebtables chain.
It turns out that there is a subtle lock ordering problem
on virNWFilterObjPtr instances. __virNWFilterInstantiateFilter
will hold a lock on the virNWFilterObjPtr it is instantiating.
This in turn invokes virNWFilterInstantiate which then invokes
virNWFilterDetermineMissingVarsRec which then invokes
virNWFilterObjFindByName. This iterates over every single
virNWFilterObjPtr in the list, locking them and checking their
name. So if 2 or more threads try to instantiate a filter in
parallel, they'll all hold 1 lock at the top level in the
__virNWFilterInstantiateFilter method which will cause the
other thread to deadlock in virNWFilterObjFindByName.
The fix is to add an exclusive mutex to serialize the
execution of __virNWFilterInstantiateFilter.

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.
