[libvirt] [PATCH 4/5] macvtap support for libvirt -- helper code
by Stefan Berger 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

This part adds the helper code to setup and tear down macvtap devices using direct communication with the device driver via netlink sockets. The rather short messages received from the netlink layer are now written into a dynamically allocated buffer. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb(a)us.ibm.com>

[libvirt] [PATCH] virStorageBackendIsMultipath: avoid dead store
by Jim Meyering 11 Feb '10
