[libvirt PATCH] nodedev: Handle inactive mdevs with the same UUID

Unfortunately, mdevctl supports defining more than one mdev with the same UUID as long as they have different parent devices. So we can't use the UUID alone as a way to uniquely identify these node devices. Append the parent name to ensure uniqueness. For example: Before: mdev_88a6b868_46bd_4015_8e5b_26107f82da38 After: mdev_88a6b868_46bd_4015_8e5b_26107f82da38_0000_00_02_0 Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1979440 Signed-off-by: Jonathon Jongsma <jjongsma(a)redhat.com&gt; --- QUESTION: Is there any expectation of stability in these device names? I'm not sure to what extent these changes might affect users. Given that support for persistent mdevs is fairly new, there are likely not many users yet. src/node_device/node_device_driver.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c b/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c index b4dd57e5f4..89dc704162 100644 --- a/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c +++ b/src/node_device/node_device_driver.c @@ -1038,7 +1038,7 @@ nodeDeviceGetMdevctlListCommand(bool defined, static void mdevGenerateDeviceName(virNodeDeviceDef *dev) { - nodeDeviceGenerateName(dev, "mdev", dev->caps->data.mdev.uuid, NULL); + nodeDeviceGenerateName(dev, "mdev", dev->caps->data.mdev.uuid, dev->parent); } -- 2.31.1
