(3) Event cond_true: 	Condition "queue->head", taking true branch
(6) Event loop_begin: 	Jumped back to beginning of loop
(7) Event cond_true: 	Condition "queue->head", taking true branch

283  	    while (queue->head)

(4) Event freed_arg: 	"virThreadQueueRemove" frees "queue->head". [details]
(5) Event loop: 	Jumping back to the beginning of the loop
(8) Event deref_arg: 	Calling "virThreadQueueRemove" dereferences freed pointer "queue->head". [details]

284  	        virThreadQueueRemove(queue, queue->head);

Where the link to [details] has:

230  	static void
231  	virThreadQueueRemove(virThreadQueuePtr queue,
232  	                     virThreadQueueItemPtr item)
233  	{

(1) Event cond_true: 	Condition "item->prev", taking true branch
(1) Event deref_parm: 	Directly dereferencing parameter "item".
Also see events: 	[freed_arg]

234  	    if (item->prev)

(2) Event if_fallthrough: 	Falling through to end of if statement

235  	        item->prev->next = item->next;
236  	    else

(3) Event if_end: 	End of if statement

237  	        queue->head = item->next;
238  	

(4) Event cond_true: 	Condition "item->next", taking true branch

239  	    if (item->next)

(5) Event if_fallthrough: 	Falling through to end of if statement

240  	        item->next->prev = item->prev;
241  	    else

(6) Event if_end: 	End of if statement

242  	        queue->tail = item->prev;
243  	
244  	    virObjectUnref(item->cond);

(7) Event freed_arg: 	"virFree" frees parameter "item". [details]

245  	    VIR_FREE(item);
246  	}
