v2: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-July/msg00673.html
(and a few pings along the way)

Don't think much survived from v2 - this is a fresh start anyway.
Perhaps old patch 2 the same, but beyond that a different approach
to remove recursive read/write locks and replace with using rwlock
read/write where the write's are in very tight confines.

I've run the changes through avocado with success. There were some
really strange deadlocks along the way - even causing libvirtd to
go defunct. There's a lot of strange ways to use/access the nwfilters.

John Ferlan (5):
  nwfilter: Add update locking to Initialization
  nwfilter: Remove unnecessary UUID comparison bypass
  nwfilter: Convert _virNWFilterObj to use virObjectRWLockable
  nwfilter: Convert _virNWFilterObjList to use virObjectRWLockable
  nwfilter: Remove need for nwfilterDriverLock in some API's
