Re: [libvirt] [libvirt-users] Why virsh domxml-to-native qemu-argv changes PCI slot number

Moving to libvirt-users where it belongs.

Libvirt version is 4.5.0 I can reproduce this, and also confirm that it shouldn't happen :) qemuDomainAssignAddresses() is supposed to make sure that any address configured explicitly by the user (or previously by libvirt) is preserved, and it's doing that correctly when it's called from inside qemuDomainDefAssignAddresses(); however, for some reason, by the time we call it again in qemuProcessPrepareDomain() the PCI address for the network interface is no longer set, and so a fresh one gets assigned instead. I'll investigate further and get back to you.
