[libvirt] Internal error message from netcf when trying to start libvirtd

Hey, Due to a configuration issue on my system, libvirtd is not starting on my system (not complaining about this!): 2013-10-15 15:40:51.024+0000: 10222: info : libvirt version: 1.1.3 2013-10-15 15:40:51.024+0000: 10222: error : virNetTLSContextCheckCertFile:117 : Cannot read CA certificate '/home/teuf/usr/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory However, before libvirtd exits, I get another error message from the netcf code, which is unexpected this time: 2013-10-15 15:49:18.361+0000: 10222: error : netcfStateCleanup:105 : internal error: Attempt to close netcf state driver already closed This message comes from the call of virStateCleanup() at the end of main() in libvirtd.c. virStateCleanup() should not be called before daemonStateInit() has been called in main. After this call, things get more ugly as daemonStateInit() calls virStateInitialize() from a thread, so there's probably a small window for virStateInitialize() and virStateCleanup() running concurrently if an error occurs between the call to daemonStateInit() and the call to virNetServerRun(). I'm sending this email rather than a patch as I'm not sure what is the best way to fix it. The easy way would be for virStateCleanup() to be a noop when virStateInitialize() hasn't been called (iow remove the error message from netcfStateCleanup). However, this would leave this small race condition around (which is not that bad as it would only occurs in situations when the daemon fails to start). So another approach would be to set a vir_state_initialized boolean once the thread has called ivrStateInitialize, and only call virStateCleanup() when it's set. Or maybe there's a 3rd way to fix this? Let me know if you have any guidance into the best way to fix this, Christophe
