Hi there,

Last weekend I updated two KVM hosts (x86_64) running Alpine 3.11.6 to 3.12.0. Since upgrading libvirt service (libvirtd) is not starting correctly. Two processes of libvirtd are spawned and interaction with libvirt (ie: virsh or remotely over TLS) doesn't work. If you run a virsh command, the command will just hang for a long time until I press ctrl+c to stop it. If I manually kill one of the libvirtd processes, libvirt seems to start working again. I can execute virsh commands without any issues, same with remote access.

I found this other issue that may be related but I'm not really sure: 11361

The problem is not only happening at startup, I'm still investigating but even while libvirt is already running, after sometime a second process is spawned (don't know why yet) and libvirt stops working again. I need to connect to the KVM host, kill the new libvirtd process that was spawned, and operation resumes as usual.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
