Wouldn't it be simpler to do port removal just inside the
networkReleaseActualDevice() function if this is interface that was
attached to an OVS bridge? Would this make any problems to the overall
design? The code seems to work...
No. networkAllocateActualDevice and networkReleaseActualDevice are only
intended to acquire network-specific configuration/resourced for the
guest from a <network> object, and release it later; they shouldn't be
used as a clearing house for general guest interface setup/teardown.
Looking through all this code I've been thinking it might be nice to
create such "clearing house" setup/teardown functions, but what I've
seen so far is that there are places where only some of the full list of
functions are called (don't know if that means missing functionality /
bugs, or genuinely different situations that require a different set of
actions), and am too busy now with other projects to investigate further.
In the meantime, if you can try to make your additions in the (at least)
two places as similar as possible, that will make it easier for us to
later go in and create functions that do complete interface setup/teardown.
