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.

Daniel P. Berrange 8d616decc5 Make checks for inactive QEMU guest more robust
Before issuing monitor commands it is neccessary to check whether
the guest is still running. Most places use virDomainIsActive()
correctly, but a few relied on 'priv->mon != NULL'. In theory
these should be equivalent, but the release of the last reference
count on priv->mon can be delayed a small amount of time until
the event handler is finally deregistered. A further ref counting
bug also means that priv->mon might be never released. In such a
case, code could mistakenly issue a monitor command and wait for
a response that will never arrive, effectively leaving the QEMU
driver waiting on virCondWait() forever..

To protect against these possibilities, make sure all code uses
virDomainIsActive(), not 'priv->mon != NULL'

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Replace 'priv->mon != NULL' with
  calls to 'priv->mon != NULL'()

         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.
