There is a lock ordering problem in the QEMU close callback APIs. When starting a guest we have a lock on the VM. We then set a autodestroy callback, which acquires a lock on the close callbacks. When running auto-destroy, we obtain a lock on the close callbacks, then run each callbacks - which obtains a lock on the VM. This causes deadlock if anyone tries to start a VM, while autodestroy is taking place. The fix is to do autodestroy in 2 phases. First obtain all the callbacks and remove them from the list under the close callback lock. Then invoke each callback from outside the close callback lock. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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.
