This is jus a dup of the other similar BZ you filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886454 The flaw is netcf, using libnl APIs that are not threadsafe. It is trivially demonstrated by just having 2 threads call netcf_init/netcf_close in parallel Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ Libguestfs mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
