[libvirt] Call to virDomainIsActive hangs forever

Hi ! I'm submitting my messages on this mailing list to request a bit of help on a case that I have where a Python application makes a call to virDomainIsActive, and the call never returns. I have tried to investigate, but as there are no debug symbols for libvirt on Debian Stretch, i can only have the following GDB backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 pthread_cond_wait@(a)GLIBC_2.3.2 () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/pthread_cond_wait.S:185 #1 0x00007f49026f5b76 in virCondWait () from /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0 #2 0x00007f4902808bab in ?? () from /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0 #3 0x00007f490280a433 in virNetClientSendWithReply () from /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0 #4 0x00007f490280abe2 in virNetClientProgramCall () from /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0 #5 0x00007f49027e0ea4 in ??

() from /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0 #7 0x00007f49027b0ef3 in virDomainIsActive () from /usr/lib/libvirt.so.0 #8 0x00007f4902b7fbd0 in libvirt_virDomainIsActive () from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libvirtmod.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so #9 0x0000558eeec696df in PyCFunction_Call () at ../Objects/methodobject.c:109 The libvirt driver used is QEMU, and i have a specific monitoring in place using virtual machine introspection: https://github.com/KVM-VMI/kvm-vmi Now this specific monitoring somehow triggers this bug, and at this point, i don't know if it's a corner case in the libvirt QEMU driver or not. That's why i would like to have your lights on this. libvirt version: 3.0.0-4 -> Could you tell me where i should look in the code ? -> Do you have more information about this virCondWait ? Which condition is it waiting for ? -> How can i get the symbols without having the recompile libvirt and install it system wide, erasing the binaries installed by the package ?
