If libvirtd is terminated before the node driver finishes
initialization, it can crash with a backtrace similar to the following:

This is because the initial population of the device list is done in a
separate initialization thread. If we attempt to exit libvirtd before
this init thread has completed, we'll try to free the device list while
accessing it from the other thread. In order to guarantee that this
init thread is not accessing the device list when we're cleaning up the
nodedev driver, make it joinable and wait for it to finish before
proceding with the cleanup. This is similar to how we handle the udev
event handler thread.
The separate initialization thread was added in commit

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
