v1: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-April/239441.html Address v1's cleanup bugs by using g_autofree and the concurrency bugs by forking a subprocess before chdir(). It works! I have been working on the other solution of putting paths in /var/run, from https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-April/239536.html, but so my attempts have ballooned out of control. I would like to offer this improved version of my original patch in the meantime. Plus there's the unclear impact of the other strategy on upgrades: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-April/239470.html, which means even once that's implemented it will take a long time to vet. The chdir() approach cuts right to the point. I'm hoping you'll accept both approaches as complementary and worth adopting. Original issue: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/466 Cheers!
