When setting up mount namespace for a qemu domain the following
steps are executed:
1) get list of mountpoints under /dev/
2) move them to /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$domName.ext
3) start constructing new device tree under /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$domName.dev
4) move the mountpoint of the new device tree to /dev
5) restore original mountpoints from step 2)
Note the problem with this approach is that if some device in step
3) requires access to a mountpoint from step 2) it will fail as
the mountpoint is not there anymore. For instance consider the
following domain disk configuration:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/dev/shm/vhostmd0'/>
<target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
In this case operation fails as we are unable to create vhostmd0
in the new device tree because after step 2) there is no /dev/shm
anymore. Leave aside fact that we shouldn't try to create devices
living in other mountpoints. That's a separate bug that will be
addressed later.
Currently, the order described above is rearranged to:
1) get list of mountpoints under /dev/
2) start constructing new device tree under /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$domName.dev
3) move them to /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$domName.ext
4) move the mountpoint of the new device tree to /dev
5) restore original mountpoints from step 3)

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
