Convert libvirtd to use crash-safe pidfile APIs
Remove the current libvirtd pidfile handling code, in favour of calling out to the new APIs. This ensures libvirtd's pidfile handling is crashsafe This also means that the non-root libvirtd instances (for handling qemu:///session URIs) can now safely use pidfiles without racing * daemon/libvirtd.c: Switch to use virPidFileAcquire and virPidFileRelease
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.

Description

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
