Hi Alex and Laine:
What I notice is, that with Laine's patch, for virtualport of type openvswitch, if I
do NOT define
a VLAN, it crashes. If I do, then I can start my virtual machines. Without Laine's
patch, it's the
same, which leads me to believe Laine's patch only fixes a symptom of this issue.
I'm looking into this now, will see how far I get with it today. But it appears to me
to be a bug
in the logic which is handling VLANs at a higher layer.
Thanks,
Kyle
I just sent a patch, which combined with Laine's patches, stop the crashes in
the latest libvirt code
when using Open vSwitch virtual ports. I think this should go into the 0.10.1 release for
this
Friday, because without it libvirt crashes consistently with Open vSwitch virtualports.
Thanks,
Kyle
