Commit d2e5538b1 changes virDomainDef to include ifnames
that autogenerated by libxl, and that are also cleared
on domain cleanup. One place that's missing is on
migration, when domain xml is sent to dst libvirtd and
would contain ifnames from the source libvirtd. This
would lead to erronous behaviour (as seen in osstest CI)
such as failing to migrate when a vif with the same name
existed (belonging to another domain) on destination.
Your patch is certainly one way to fix this issue, but I wonder if we should be
adding the generated ifname to the XML that is sent to the destination.
virDomainNetDefFormat() has this interesting piece of logic
if (def->ifname &&
!((flags & VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_INACTIVE) &&
(STRPREFIX(def->ifname, VIR_NET_GENERATED_PREFIX)))) {
/* Skip auto-generated target names for inactive config. */
virBufferEscapeString(buf, "<target dev='%s'/>\n",
def->ifname);
}
In the Begin phase, we format the XML that will be sent to the destination based
on current vm->def of the machine running on the source. Calling
virDomainDefFormat() with VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_INACTIVE doesn't seem right. I
tried to see how this is handled in the qemu driver, but couldn't quite figure
it out. Jirka is one of the experts of the qemu migration code, adding him to cc
to see if he has any insights.
I'd like to get this resolved and a fix pushed before 1.3.0 is released since it
causes a migration regression.
Regards,
Jim
This patch adds a helper libxlDomainFreeIfaceNames for
clearing ifnames on both migration prepare phase and domain
cleanup. It is done on prepare phase so that we don't affect
source domain (specially in cases when the migration fails),
while still allowing interface stats to be consulted during
the migration.

Changes since v1:
- Commit message is changed
- Clear ifnames on prepare phase as opposed to begin phase.
