If you start more than one lxc-start/lxc-execute with the same name at the same time, or just do an lxc-start/lxc-execute with the name of a container that is already running, lxc doesn't figure out that the container with this name is already running until fairly late in the initialization process: ie when __lxc_start() -> lxc_poll() -> lxc_command_mainloop_add() attempts to create the same abstract socket name.
By this point a fair amount of initialization has been done that actually messes up the running container. For example __lxc_start() -> lxc_spawn() -> lxc_cgroup_create() -> lxc_one_cgroup_create() -> try_to_move_cgname() moves the running container's cgroup to a name of deadXXXXXX. The solution in this patch is to use the atomic existence of the abstract socket name as the indicator that the container is already running. To do so, I just refactored lxc_command_mainloop_add() into an lxc_command_init() routine that attempts to bind the socket, and ensure this is called earlier before much initialization has been done. In testing, I verified that maincmd_fd was still open at the time of lxc_fini, so the entire lifetime of the container's run should be covered. The only explicit close of this fd was in the reboot case of lxcapi_start(), which is now moved to lxc_fini(), which I think is more appropriate. Even though it is not checked any more, set maincmd_fd to -1 instead of 0 to indicate its not open since 0 could be a valid fd.
