The 4 patches here are in decreasing order of importance. The first:
[PATCH 1/4] network: don't refresh iptables rules on networks
prevents proper behavior with a valid request when modifying the
interface pool list of a macvtap or hostdev network (because it tries
to refresh non-existent iptables rules, fails, then aborts the update).
The second:
[PATCH 2/4] network: make virNetworkObjUpdate error
detection/recovery better
fixes two problems that would crop up when attempting an invalid
update to a network.
The third was pointed out by DV in his review of the dhcp-range and
portgroup update backends:
[PATCH 3/4] network: log error for unknown virNetworkUpdate command
would allow a call to the virNetworkUpdate() API with an unknown
command number to succeed (it wouldn't do anything, but might provide
the illusion that it *had*).
The fourth:
[PATCH 4/4] network: backend for virNetworkUpdate of interface list
is the last of the networkUpdate section backends that I was
explicitly/specifically asked to implement.
