Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2 06/11] qemu: Grab modify job for changing domain XML

Changing domain definition must be guarded with acquiring modify job. The problem is if there is a thread executing say qemuDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriod() which is an API that acquires modify job and then possibly unlock the domain object and locks it again. However, becasue virDomainObjAssignDef() does not take a job (only object lock) it may have changed the domain definition while the other thread unlocked the domain object in order to talk on the monitor. For instance: Thread1: 1) lookup domain object and lock it 2) acquire job 3) get pointers to live and persistent defs 4) unlock the domain object 5) talk to qemu on the monitor Thread2 (Execute qemuDomainDefineXMLFlags): 1) lookup domain object and lock it 2) virDomainObjAssignDef() which overwrites persistent def and frees the old one 3) unlock domain object Thread1: 6) lock the domain object again 7) try to access the persistent def via pointer stored in 3) Now, this will crash because the pointer from step 3) points to a memory that was freed. However, if Thread2 waited and acquired modify job (just like Thread1) then these two would serialize and no harm would be done.
