This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881480 These three functions: virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev virDomainNetGetActualDirectMode return attributes that are in a union whose contents are interpreted differently depending on the actual->type and so they should only return non-0 when actual->type is 'bridge' (in the first case) or 'direct' (in the other two cases, but I had neglected to do that, so ...DirectDev() was returning bridge.brname (which happens to share the same spot in the union with direct.linkdev) if actual->type was 'bridge', and ...BridgeName was returning direct.linkdev when actual->type was 'direct'. How does this involve Bug 881480 (which was about the inability to switch between two networks that both have "<forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='xxx'/>"? Whenever the return value of virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev() for the new and old network definitions doesn't match, qemuDomainChangeNet() requires a "complete reconnect" of the device, which qemu currently doesn't support. ...DirectDev() *should* have been returning NULL for old and new, but was instead returning the old and new bridge names, which differ. (The other two functions weren't causing any behavioral problems in virDomainChangeNet(), but their problem and fix was identical, so I included them in this same patch). were supposed to only return non-0 values when --- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index 814859a..4ffb39d 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -15130,11 +15130,12 @@ virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName(virDomainNetDefPtr iface) { if (iface->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE) return iface->data.bridge.brname; - if (iface->type != VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK) - return NULL; - if (!iface->data.network.actual) - return NULL; - return iface->data.network.actual->data.bridge.brname; + if (iface->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK && + iface->data.network.actual && + iface->data.network.actual->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE) { + return iface->data.network.actual->data.bridge.brname; + } + return NULL; } const char * @@ -15142,11 +15143,12 @@ virDomainNetGetActualDirectDev(virDomainNetDefPtr iface) { if (iface->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) return iface->data.direct.linkdev; - if (iface->type != VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK) - return NULL; - if (!iface->data.network.actual) - return NULL; - return iface->data.network.actual->data.direct.linkdev; + if (iface->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK && + iface->data.network.actual && + iface->data.network.actual->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) { + return iface->data.network.actual->data.direct.linkdev; + } + return NULL; } int @@ -15154,11 +15156,12 @@ virDomainNetGetActualDirectMode(virDomainNetDefPtr iface) { if (iface->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) return iface->data.direct.mode; - if (iface->type != VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK) - return 0; - if (!iface->data.network.actual) - return 0; - return iface->data.network.actual->data.direct.mode; + if (iface->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK && + iface->data.network.actual && + iface->data.network.actual->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT) { + return iface->data.network.actual->data.direct.mode; + } + return 0; } virDomainHostdevDefPtr -- 1.7.11.7
