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.

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.
