Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/4] Fix deadlock in nwfilter code

Since we introduced fine grained locking into the QEMU driver so that VM start can run in parallel, we appear to have caused a race with the nwfilter code. In particular since we no longer hold the global QEMU driver lock for the duration of VM startup we have a lock ordering flaw. This results in deadlock when nwfilter operations happen in parallel with VM startup. This also affects the LXC driver. This patch series attempts to address the problem https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=929412 the removal of the windows thread impl isn't strictly required, I just didn't want to waste time creating a read/write lock impl for Windows threads.
