I'm not sure what you mean here. virNetClientFree frees the client
when the last ref is removed.

We already have an unref function it's called virNetClientFree.

Are you referring to virNetClientClose that closes the connection and
frees parts of the client?

I tried to figure out the cleanup and ref counting logic in the RPC
code in order to fix a memory leak triggered by virsh.

It's complex and I don't understand it completely, as there is ref
counting on multiple levels that is entangled with the event loop.
