When the libvirt daemon is restarted it tries to reconnect to running
qemu domains. Since commit d38897a5d4b1880e1998394b2a37bba979bbdff1 the
re-connection code runs in separate threads. In the original
implementation the maximum of domain ID's (that is used as an
initializer for numbering guests created next) while libvirt was
reconnecting to the guest.
With the threaded implementation this opens a possibility for race
conditions with the thread that is autostarting guests. When there's a
guest running with id 1 and the daemon is restarted. The autostart code
is reached first and spawns the first guest that should be autostarted
as id 1. This results into the following unwanted situation:
# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
1 guest1 running
1 guest2 running
This patch extracts the detection code before the re-connection threads
are started so that the maximum id of the guests being reconnected to is
known.
The only semantic change created by this is if the guest with greatest ID
quits before we are able to reconnect it's ID is used anyway as the
greatest one as without this patch the greatest ID of a process we could
successfuly reconnect to would be used.
