The virConnectPtr is passed around loads of nwfilter code in order to provide it as a parameter to the callback registered by the virt drivers. None of the virt drivers use this param though, so it serves no purpose. Avoiding the need to pass a virConnectPtr means that the nwfilterStateReload method no longer needs to open a bogus QEMU driver connection. This addresses a race condition that can lead to a crash on startup. The nwfilter driver starts before the QEMU driver and registers some callbacks with DBus to detect firewalld reload. If the firewalld reload happens while the QEMU driver is still starting up though, the nwfilterStateReload method will open a connection to the partially initialized QEMU driver and cause a crash.

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.
