Is there much of a difference between having an explicit noop backend that is checked for availability after all other ones, and simply not failing to initialize the driver if a backend can't be found?
I actually sent a patch for the latter last night
Awesome, thanks!
I'm still unclear on how networking on FreeBSD could work at all until now. Aren't the iptables rules needed for guest connectivity? Or did I misunderstand their purpose?
It wouldn't have worked, but the problem is that we now kill the entire libvirtd startup, instead of successfully starting a (broken) network driver. Both are broken, but now the brokenness has spread to the bits that do matter.
I get that, it's just that I'd be extremely surprised to learn that guest network connectivity hasn't worked on FreeBSD all this time. Surely that can't be right! Roman, what am I missing?
This is only the libvirt virtual network backend. I presume BSD hosted guests could just use one of the other network backend options.
