[libvirt] [PATCH] util: do not resotre the VF that is in use by another active guest

If we assign a VF, which has already been used by an active guest, to another guest, and try to start the 2nd guest later on, the 2nd guest would not start, and the VF won't work anymore. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1 Assign a VF to guest A, and start the guest. The VF works fine. 2 Assign the VF to guest B, and try to start guest B. guest B can't start. 3 Guest A's network becomes unreachable, because its VF now doesn't work. Reasons for this problem is: 1 When we start guest B, libvirtd checks whether the VF is already used by another guest, if so, qemuPrepareHostDevices() returns with failure. 2 Then, libvirtd calls qemuProcessStop() to cleanup resourses, which would restore the VFs of guest B. Specifically, it reads /var/run/libvirt/hostdevmgr/ethX_vfX to get the VF's original MAC/VLAN, and set it back to current VF. 3 As that the VF is still in use by guest A, libvirtd just set its MAC/VLAN to another value, the VF doesn't work anymore. Detailed flow: qemuProcessStart \___qemuPrepareHostDevices(if it fails, goto cleanup) \ \_qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices \ \_____virHostdevPreparePCIDevices \ \____LOOP1:virPCIDeviceListFind \ (whether the device is in use by another active guest) \ if the VF has been assigned to, qemuPrepareHostDevices() fails \___cleanup: \__qemuProcessStop \____qemuDomainReAttachHostDevices \____qemuDomainReAttachHostdevDevices \____virHostdevReAttachPCIDevices \_____virHostdevNetConfigRestore (it gets MAC/VLAN form /var/run/libvirt/hostdevmgr/ethX_vfX, and set it back to the VF, making the VF unusable) This patch checks whether the VF is already in use before restoring it.
