[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] keep the PID file locked for the lifetime of the process

[Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>]

The lockf() call in qemu_create_pidfile() aims at ensuring mutual
exclusion. We shouldn't close the pidfile on success, because that drops
the lock as well [1]:

    "File locks shall be released on first close by the locking process
    of any file descriptor for the file."

Coverity may complain again about the leaked file descriptor; let's
worry about that later.
