Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235961
If using the default virtual network, an easy way to lose guest network
connectivity is to install libvirt inside the VM. The autostarted
default network inside the guest collides with host virtual network
routing. This is a long standing issue that has caused users quite a
bit of pain and confusion.
On network startup, parse /proc/net/route and compare the requested
IP+netmask against host routing destinations: if any matches are found,
refuse to start the network.
v2: Drop sscanf, fix a comment typo, comment that function could use
libnl instead of /proc

inet_ntoa() isn't threadsafe (it re-uses the same static buffer). strdup
reduces the window, but the potential for a bad result is still there.
Better to use inet_ntop(), or possibly use virSocketFormatAddr()
(although that would have a bit of setup involved).
But since the string you're comparing it to below was also originally a
binary value (and also converted with inet_ntoa(), maybe the best thing
would be to just compare the binary values directly and avoid the
conversion.

Doh, good point. I'll keep one of the inet_ntop conversions though, so
it can be used in error messages.

Done, updated patch sent now.

Will do.
None of the inet_* functions should be used as they are all obsolete.
Use one of the virSocket* functions in src/util/network.c - if there
isn't a suitable one add a new one, based on getnameinfo() + AI_NUMERIC
flag.

Daniel
