There's a race in lxc driver causing a deadlock. If a domain is
destroyed immediately after started, the deadlock can occur. When domain
is started, the even loop tries to connect to the monitor. If the
connecting succeeds, virLXCProcessMonitorInitNotify() is called with
@mon->client locked. The first thing that callee does, is
virObjectLock(vm). So the order of locking is: 1) @mon->client, 2) @vm.
However, if there's another thread executing virDomainDestroy on the
very same domain, the first thing done here is locking the @vm. Then,
the corresponding libvirt_lxc process is killed and monitor is closed
via calling virLXCMonitorClose(). This callee tries to lock @mon->client
too. So the order is reversed to the first case. This situation results
in deadlock and unresponsive libvirtd (since the eventloop is involved).
The proper solution is to unlock the @vm in virLXCMonitorClose prior
entering virNetClientClose(). See the backtrace as follows:
