Re: [Libvir] PATCH 15/20: remove use of libsysfs in bridge code

The current code for setting up bridges in virtual networks links against the libsysfs library. This is use to get/set the spanning-tree-protocol and forward-delay parameters on the bridge device. None of the four methods using libsysfs are ever called though. The fact that the setters are not called during network start is a bug. There is no need for getters at all since we have the config in memory all the time. The libsysfs is also not exactly an ABI stable library - we're unable to compile libvirt on FC5 for example because of this. This patch changes the bridge code to just invoke the brctl command directly which is much more portable & avoids the need for us to link libvirt.so against libsysfs.so It also fixes the network creation process to actually set STP & forward-delay parameters if specified. configure.in | 16 -- libvirt.spec.in | 4 qemud/Makefile.am | 2 qemud/bridge.c | 298 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------- qemud/driver.c | 16 ++ 5 files changed, 146 insertions(+), 190 deletions(-) Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
