https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197600 So, libvirt uses pid file to track pid of started qemus. Whenever a domain is started, its pid is put into corresponding pid file. The pid file path is generated based on domain name and stored into domain object internals. However, it's not stored in the status XML and therefore lost on daemon restarts. Hence, later, when domain is being shut down, the daemon does not know which pid file to unlink, and the correct pid file is left behind. To avoid this, lets generate the pid file path again in qemuProcessReconnect().
