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.

Eric Blake a20c3aafbe qemu: refactor blockinfo job handling
In order for a future patch to virDomainListGetStats to reuse
some code for determining disk usage of offline domains, we
need to make it easier to pull out part of the guts of grabbing
blockinfo.  The current implementation grabs a job fairly late
in the game, while getstats will already own a job; reordering
things so that the job is always grabbed up front in both
functions will make it easier to pull out the common code.
This patch results in grabbing a job in cases where one was not
previously needed, but as it is a query job, it should not be
noticeably slower.

This patch touches the same code as the fix for CVE-2014-6458
(commit b799259); in that patch, we avoided hotplug changing
a disk reference during the time of obtaining a monitor lock
by copying all data we needed and no longer referencing disk;
this patch goes the other way and ensures that by holding the
job, the disk cannot be changed so we no longer need to worry
about the disk being invalidated across the monitor lock.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainGetBlockInfo): Rearrange job
control to be outside of disk information.

         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.
