[pardon the top-post comment] Doing some (personal) mail box cleaning and found this "older" patch... Sorry that this has sat unattended (and probably now forgotten or given up on) for so long. Suppose it's an assumption that someone like Laine who understand bonds/bridges better than others would pick it up... Although, it's not my space, I'll provide some feedback in general and if you want to rework, send again - then hopefully someone more in the know about "expectations" can look at it...

Personally, I'm not sure if this is a feature or a problem, hopefully Laine can elaborate!

It's made tricky by using bridge vs. bond, but I think the code has a lot of similarities and allocation of specific fields and list traversal could probably be handled by some callback type function. Not required for another patch, but might be interesting to try. > + if (!status) { > + devtype = udev_device_get_devtype(dev); > + if (STREQ_NULLABLE(devtype, "bridge")) { > + if (virAsprintf(&member_path, "%s/%s", > + udev_device_get_syspath(dev), "brif") < 0) This should have been properly aligned (udev_* under &member_path).
