This fixes a possible crash of libvirtd during its startup. When qemu driver reconnects to running domains, it iterates over all domain objects in a hash. When reconnecting to an associated qemu monitor fails and the domain is transient, it's immediately removed from the hash. Despite the fact that it's explicitly forbidden to do so. If libvirtd is lucky enough, virHashForEach will access random memory when the callback finishes and the deamon will crash. Since it's trivial to fix virHashForEach to allow removal of hash entries while iterating through them, I went this way instead of fixing qemuReconnectDomain callback (and possibly others) to avoid deleting the entries.
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.
