Thanks again John for giving detailed review and feedback for v3 patchset.
I have tried incorporating the suggestions in v4.

You are missing the S-o-b:

The someone new policy is that:

Contributors to libvirt projects must assert that they are in compliance
with the Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1. This is achieved by adding
a "Signed-off-by" line containing the contributor's name and e-mail to
every commit message. The presence of this line attests that the
contributor has read the above lined DCO and agrees with its statements.

You probably don't have cppi installed, but if you did it would have
pointed out a few more syntax-check issues...

FWIW: Easiest way to test that your compilation works on "linux" and
something else is to simply change this line to something else that
wouldn't be defined and that would show if your #else logic works...

A < 0 is an error
A == 0 is empty file

so be careful in just cut-copy-paste as this will fail for some unknown
reason if the length of what's read == 0.

This should also go after the virAsprintf for pf_switch_id_file

> +        goto cleanup;

And you don't really the { } for a one line goto cleanup although it
passed syntax-check because of the multi-line virFileReadAddQuiet

Your comments though make it seem like you want to check if the file
exists first before reading (e.g. if (!virFileExists())).  Then if it
doesn't exist, return.  You may also want to alter your returns to be -1
error, 0 nothing gathered, and 1 something gathered.  Don't forget to
document that too.

Looking at patch 2 which is where virNetdevHostdevGetVFRIfName (the
caller to this method) is called - if the returned name is NULL, then
the data would be ignored anyway. So the 0 and 1 return could be useful.

Also, entire comment is incorrectly indented.

Again, should we first to a if (!virFileExists()) continue; type operation?

So if <= we're falling through to the next step, which I don't think you
want.

This one doesn't follow your pattern to add a
VIR_FREE(pf_subsystem_device_port_name_file) beforehand within your
while loop...

Should be unnecessary since virFree will do that for you

Again the pattern of VIR_FREE(vf_num_str); beforehand

This changes ret < == > 0... don't believe that's what you really want.

For the above last hunk... All if this because you're trying to
determine if the passed "vf" number is equal to the number portion of
the vf_rep_ifname?

I believe virSkipSpaces and virParseNumber will help you be a whole lot
cleaner!

Considering my comment above and changing the return values means this
could change as well. At the very least actually checking < 0 for failure...

To some degree since the caller only cares if the return is NULL or not
and doesn't error when it's not, then all/any error generated will be
lost.  So that means would could be a valid reason to cause a failure
would be lost and the data just ignored.

At the very least a virResetLastError would clear away the error

Before I read this comment after looking at the next patch and wondering
what was different to virNetDevTapInterfaceStats, my first gut response
follows.

Now that I've dealt with that - rather than cut-n-paste-n-copy - you
need to figure out a way to make use of the existing code. That means
introducing an API that the __linux___ version of
virNetDevTapInterfaceStats would call and this function would also call.
Perhaps something along the lines of virNetDevGetProcNetDev that lives
in src/util/virnetdev.c... One patch would extract it out and the next
one would also use it for your hostdev path.

FWIW: Still some of my feeings below could still apply to/for an
improved processing of the file/data - especially w/r/t format of the
file, headings, etc.  Since "something" already exists though, we can
live with it I suppose, even though it's perhaps not optimal

Tehnically there's a header row or two that you're missing from what I
see...

> +        colon = strchr(line, ':');

Once you get beyond and verify the header, you may want to look into
virStringSplit - it's pretty powerful and this is just ripe for all
sorts of issues especially if the format of the output *ever* changes....

In fact I'd go as far to say that checking/learning which column heading
goes with which data element might be very useful thing to add here
especially if it ever differs between distros or ever has changed or
could change.

Check out using virFileReadAll and other API's that read /proc files. If
you can "map" your expected headers into the format you're reading and
ensure that no future change would alter what you've magically sscanf'd
below, then that future proofs yourself a bit. You could possibly also
create some magic that would pull only the ones you care about based on
the headers provided.

There's "inventive ways" to use ARRAY_CARDINALITY (see
virNetClientFindDefaultSshKey) that will help you make sure that the
header doesn't change which skews your results.

In any case, the folowing at the very least should follow
virHostCPUGetStatsLinux or virHostMemGetStatsLinux in order to make sure
headers match sscanf'd columns.

Wouldn't this be more an empty /proc/net/dev file?  Is that a sign of a
different problem?  We've already covered the missing file above.

Parameters here are different than .h file.

This one's not static...

Please place the order of functions in the #else section the same as in
the #if section

Add a blank like for readability

Same here... Also keep the same function order as the .c file - it's
just easier that way to compare .h and .c...

Why change format?

s/b
int
virNetdevHostdev...
