[libvirt] [PATCH] Allow NULL mac address in virGetInterface.
There are places where an interface will not have a mac address, and netcf returns this as a NULL pointer rather than a pointer to an empty string. Rather than checking for this all over the place in libvirt, just save it in the virInterface object as an empty string. --- src/datatypes.c | 7 ++++++- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/datatypes.c b/src/datatypes.c index 89ad309..ecefc59 100644 --- a/src/datatypes.c +++ b/src/datatypes.c @@ -588,10 +588,15 @@ virInterfacePtr virGetInterface(virConnectPtr conn, const char *name, const char *mac) { virInterfacePtr ret = NULL; - if ((!VIR_IS_CONNECT(conn)) || (name == NULL) || (mac == NULL)) { + if ((!VIR_IS_CONNECT(conn)) || (name == NULL)) { virLibConnError(NULL, VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, __FUNCTION__); return(NULL); } + + /* a NULL mac from caller is okay.

ACK that sounds reasonnable to me. I assume the inverted situation of an interface known only by it's MAC can't happen, right ?

I believe that is correct - name is a required attribute, but mac address isn't.
