[libvirt] [PATCHv2 0/4] network: fix active status & usage of inactive networks

The original patch series is here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-April/msg00454.html This repost addresses problems pointed out by John Ferlan in his review (and other things that I thought better of during the revisions). All 4 patches are required to address https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880483 The reported problem is that an interface using a currently-inactive macvtap/hostdev network can be attached to a domain (addressed by 4/4). In order to make fixing that problem less, well, problematic, the automatic inactivation of all macvtap/hostdev networks any time libvirtd is restart must be addressed, and that is done in 1/4-3/4. Part of fixing the latter problem is changing the network driver to use /var/run for its status XML rather than /var/lib (2/4), which could cause problems during upgrade (also addressed in 2/4) and in a more limited sense downgrade (see the comments in 2/4 for why I decided to not address those problems). Laine Stump (4): network: create statedir during driver initialization network: change location of network state xml files network: set macvtap/hostdev networks active if their state file exists network: centralize check for active network during interface attach src/conf/network_conf.c | 1 + src/lxc/lxc_driver.c | 21 +---- src/lxc/lxc_process.c | 18 +---- src/network/bridge_driver.c | 189 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 18 +---- src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 11 +-- 6 files changed, 166 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-) -- 1.9.0
