Hello libvirt-users list,

We're catching the same bug since 3.4.0 version (3.3.0 works OK).
So, we have process that is permanently connected to libvirtd via socket and it is collecting stats, listening to events and control the VPSes.

When we try to 'shutdown' a number of VPSes we often catch the bug. One of VPSes sticks in 'in shutdown' state, no related 'qemu' process is present, and there is the next error in the log:

I think only the last line matters.
The bug is highly reproducible. We can easily catch it even when we call multiple 'virsh shutdown' in shell one by one.

When we shutdown the process connected to the socket - everything become OK and the bug is gone.

The system is used is Gentoo Linux, tried all modern versions of libvirt (3.4.0, 3.7.0, 3.8.0, 3.9.0, 3.10.0, 4.0.0-rc2 (today's version from git)) and they have this bug. 3.3.0 works OK.

Thanks for any help in advance.
We can send any additional info if needed.
