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.

Calling qemuProcessStop without a job opens a way to race conditions with qemuDomainObjExitMonitor called in another thread. A real world example of such a race condition: - migration thread (A) calls qemuMigrationWaitForSpice - another thread (B) starts processing qemuDomainAbortJob API - thread B signals thread A via qemuDomainObjAbortAsyncJob - thread B enters monitor (qemuDomainObjEnterMonitor) - thread B calls qemuMonitorSend - thread A awakens and calls qemuProcessStop - thread A calls qemuMonitorClose and sets priv->mon to NULL - thread B calls qemuDomainObjExitMonitor with priv->mon == NULL => monitor stays ref'ed and locked Depending on how lucky we are, the race may result in a memory leak or it can even deadlock libvirtd's event loop if it tries to lock the monitor to process an event received before qemuMonitorClose 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.
