If 2 threads call abort for example then one of them will hang because client will send 2 abort messages and server will reply only on first of them, the second will be ignored. And on server reply client changes the state only one of abort message to complete, the second will hang forever. There are other similar issues. We should complete all messages waiting reply if we got error or expected abort/finish reply from server. Also if one thread send finish and another abort one of them will win the race and server will either abort or finish stream. If stream is aborted then thread requested finishing should report error. In order to archive this let's keep stream closing reason in @closed field. If we receive VIR_NET_OK message for stream then stream is finished if oldest (closest to queue end) message in stream queue is finish message and stream is aborted if oldest message is abort message. Otherwise it is protocol error. By the way we need to fix case of receiving VIR_NET_CONTINUE message. Now we take oldest message in queue and check if this is dummy message. If one thread first sends abort and second thread then receives data then oldest message is abort message and second thread won't be notified when data arrives. Let's find oldest dummy message instead. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Shirokovskiy <nshirokovskiy@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.

License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER

Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure
script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
