commit 09778e09 switched from using ioctl(SIOCBRDELBR) for bridge
device deletion to using a netlink RTM_DELLINK message, which is the
more modern way to delete a bridge (and also doesn't require the
bridge to be ~IFF_UP to succeed). However, although older kernels
(e.g. 2.6.32, in RHEL6/CentOS6) support deleting *some* link types
with RTM_NEWLINK, they don't support deleting bridges, and there is no
compile-time way to figure this out.
This patch moves the body of the SIOCBRDELBR version of
virNetDevBridgeDelete() into a static function, calls the new function
from the original, and also calls the new function from the
RTM_DELLINK version if the RTM_DELLINK message generates an EOPNOTSUPP
error.
(Ugly Hack Alert: because the RTM_DELLINK message is sent from a
different function (virNetDevDelLink()), not directly from
virNetDevBridgeDelete(), and the other caller of that function needs
to *not* have special behavior on EOPNOTSUPP, virNetlinkDelLink() has
an added "silentEOPNOTSUPP" argument, which is set to true when
virNetlinkDelLink should be silent when encountering EOPNOTSUPP, and
instead return -2 so that the caller can try to recover before logging
an error. This was done to avoid duplicating the entire body of
virNetlinkDelLink() inside virNetDevBridgeDelete(). I am also
preparing a patch that does this duplication, but avoids the tricky
special boolean and return value. If anyone objects in the slightest
to this version, I will gladly use the other. Mostly I wrote this version to illustrate
how ugly it would be to eliminate the duplicate code :-))
This resolves a similar issue to that reported in:
