https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135339 documents some confusing behavior when a user tries to start an inactive block commit in a second connection while there is already an on-going active commit from a first connection. Eventually, qemu will support multiple simultaneous block jobs, but as of now, it does not; furthermore, libvirt also needs an overhaul before we can support simultaneous jobs. So, the best way to avoid confusing ourselves is to quit relying on qemu to tell us about the situation (where we risk getting in weird states) and instead forbid a duplicate block commit ourselves. Note that we are still relying on qemu to diagnose attempts to interrupt an inactive commit (since we only track XML of an active commit), but as inactive commit is less confusing for libvirt to manage, there is less that can go wrong by leaving that detection up to qemu. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Hoist check for active commit to occur earlier outside of conditions.

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.
