libvirt always resets the MAC address of the physdev used for macvtap passthrough when the guest is finished with it. This was happening prior to the 802.1Qb[gh] DISASSOCIATE command, and was quite often failing, presumably because the driver wouldn't allow the MAC address to be reset while the association was still active, with a log message like this: Cc: Tony Krowiak <akrowiak@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Christian Benvenuti <benve@cisco.com>
virNetDevSetMAC:168 : Cannot set interface MAC to 00:00:00:00:00:00 on 'eth13': Cannot assign requested address
This patch changes the order - we now do the 802.1Qb[gh] disassociate and delete the macvtap interface first, and then reset the MAC address. --- src/util/virnetdevmacvlan.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
