'virStoragePoolObjListSearch' explicitly documents that it's returning a pointer to a locked and ref'd pool that maches the lookup function. This was not the case as in commit 0c4b391e2a9 (released in libvirt-8.3.0) the code was accidentally converted to use 'VIR_LOCK_GUARD' which auto-unlocked it when leaving the scope, even when the code was originally "leaking" the lock. Revert the corresponding conversion and add a comment that this function is intentionally leaking a locked object.
