As part of the proposal to introduce an embedded driver feature, we decided we ought to have each driver acquire a lock against the virtual root it is configured to use. This will prevent two apps from running an embedded driver with the same root. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-May/msg00467.html It turns out that this will also be useful for the per-driver split daemons work I am working on. In that case libvirtd will exist as a monolithic daemon running all drivers, and we'll also have per-driver daemons like virtqemud, virtnetworkd, etc. It is only valid to run in one setup on the host. ie you must choose libvirtd, or choose per-driver daemons, never both. The per-driver locking will provide very useful protection against mistakes in this respect. Since the locking is functionally independant of both patch series, I'm sending it now. Daniel P.
