So - first off - this patch is doing 2 things:
1. Introduce a new driver State function - "Shutdown"
2. Moving virThreadPoolFree from virNetServerDispose to virNetServerClose
The two do not seem to be related so, they'd need to be separated.
It appears the motivation behind the StateShutdown is to "force" the
close the qemu monitor and agent, but it doesn't seem that's really
related to the virNet{Daemon|Server}* timing issue. So let's consider
that separately... and I'm not considering it now...
Focusing more on #2 - the move of the virThreadPoolFree would seem to
hasten the eventual free. Or more to the point ensure it happens. While
that does resolve the problem, I don't think it's the best or actual fix
to what it appears the real problem is.
Taking it from the Start/Alloc/Ref side - @srv gets a Ref at
virNetServerNew and then again at virNetDaemonAddServer. So each @srv
has two refs, which means in order for virNetServerDispose to be called,
there would need to be two Unref's; however, I can only find one.
During cleanup: @srv is Unref'd after virNetDaemonClose, but I'm not
finding the other one. Do you recall where you may have seen it? I'm
assuming the answer is no, there wasn't one and hence why you moved that
virThreadPoolFree call.
Since at virNetDaemonAddServer we add a Ref to @srv, then during
virNetDaemonClose I'd expect that for each server on dmn->servers
there'd be the virNetServerClose and a removal from the HashTable and
Unref of the @srv object which I'm not seeing. If that was there, then
the virNetServerDispose would call virThreadPoolFree right when the
Unref was done on @srv. The better fix, I believe is a call to
virHashRemoveAll in virNetDaemonClose which does that removal of @srv
from the dmn->servers hash table. NB this would fix a memory leak since
the eventual virHashFree(dmn->servers) doesn't do free the elements of
the hash table when virNetDaemonDispose is called as a result of the
virObjectUnref(dmn) at the bottom of main() in daemon/libvirtd.c.
As an aside (and I think something else that needs to be fixed), there's
virNetDaemonAddServerPostExec which adds a @srv to dmn->services, but
never does the virObjectRef after the virHashAddEntry call. That would
need to be a patch before the patch that adds the virHashRemoveAll.
Make sense? This is a very interesting/good catch to a problem - let's
just get the right fix!
