As qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess() will unlock the qemu monitor, there is
some extreme situation, eg qemu send message to monitor twice in a short
time, where the local viriable 'msg' of qemuMonitorIOProcess() could be
a wild point:
1. qemuMonitorSend() assign mon->msg to parameter 'msg', which is alse a
local variable of its caller qemuMonitorJSONCommandWithFd(), cause
eventloop to send message to monitor, then wait condition.
2. qemu send message to monitor for the first time immediately.
3. qemuMonitorIOProcess() is called, then wake up the qemuMonitorSend()
thread, but the qemuMonitorSend() thread stuck for a while, which means
the qemu monitor is still unlocked.
4. qemu send message to monitor for the second time, such as RTC_CHANGE
event
5. qemuMonitorIOProcess() is called, the local viriable 'msg' is
assigned to mon->msg.
6. qemuMonitorIOProcess() call qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess() to deal with
the message
7. qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess() unlock the qemu monitor, qemuMonitorSend()
thread get the lock and free the mon->msg, assign mon->msg to NULL.
so the local viriable 'msg' of qemuMonitorIOProcess() is a wild pointer
now.
AFAIK, it is not harmful to call again virCondBroadcast() while msg is a
wild pointer, but just in case, we fix it in this patch.

The monitor is unlocked in qemuMonitorIO() after finishing processing
from the event loop. There is no point where qemuMonitorIOProcess()
would not hold the mutex locked.
The event loop or the thread waiting for the message to be processed can
start executing only after unlocking the mutex.
so the local viriable 'msg' of qemuMonitorIOProcess() is a
wild pointer
now.

qemuMonitorIOProcess is executed when the monitor is locked so this is
impossible to happen. If the mon->msg object would be overwritten at
this point in any way, this certainly is not the correct fix as
something overwrote the pointer while the lock was held.

Note that after waking up from virCondWait you have the mutex which was
passed to it locked.
Yes, it _must_ have the mutex locked prior to executing, but there is still
a chance that the qemuMonitorIO() hold the mutex faster.
I mean virCondWait wants to wake up after qemuMonitorIOProcess() broadcast,
but it stuck for a while as cpu pressure or scheduleed out or some other
reasons. And in such short time, before virCondWait try to hold the mutex,
qemu has sent message again, qemuMonitorIO() has been called again,
and hold the mutex successfully. So virCondWait will still wait the mutex
even qemuMonitorIOProcess() has broadcast.

The monitor is unlocked in qemuMonitorIO() after finishing processing
from the event loop. There is no point where qemuMonitorIOProcess()
would not hold the mutex locked.
qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess() is called by qemuMonitorIOProcess() to deal with
the message, qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess()->qemuMonitorJSONIOProcessLine()->
qemuMonitorJSONIOProcessEvent->qemuMonitorEmitEvent()->QEMU_MONITOR_CALLBACK
#define QEMU_MONITOR_CALLBACK(mon, ret, callback, ...) \
do { \
virObjectRef(mon); \
virObjectUnlock(mon); \
if ((mon)->cb && (mon)->cb->callback) \
(ret) = (mon)->cb->callback(mon, __VA_ARGS__, \
(mon)->callbackOpaque); \
virObjectLock(mon); \
virObjectUnref(mon); \
} while (0)
the macro QEMU_MONITOR_CALLBACK will do virObjectUnlock(mon). So virCondWait
can hold the mutex finially, then mon->msg assgined to NULL and be freed,
while qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess() is wating the mutex after its callback.
The event loop or the thread waiting for the message to be processed
can
start executing only after unlocking the mutex.

Ah, okay I did not notice that these unlock the monitor.
That means that the proposed solution is not correct though.
I think a proper solution is to process the events in the same way
normal messages are processed, which is after the monitor is unlocked,
but that is a rather complex fix.
Other possibility is to re-acquire the 'msg' object after the call to
qemuMonitorJSONIOProcess returns. This requires adding a comment why is
it necessary
