After v9.1.0-rc1~116 we track whether it's us who created a macvtap or not. But when updating a vNIC its definition might be replaced with a new one (though, ifname is not allowed to change), e.g. to reflect new QoS, link state, etc. Now, the fact whether we created macvtap for given vNIC is stored in net->privateData->created. And replacing definition is done by simply freeing the old definition and making the pointer point to the new one. But this does not preserve the 'created' flag, which in turn means when a domain is shutting off, the macvtap is not removed (see loop inside of qemuProcessStop()). Copy this flag into new definition and leave a note in _qemuDomainNetworkPrivate struct. Fixes: 61d1b9e6592660121aeda66bf7adbcd39de06aa8 Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-22714 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> --- I also contemplated idea of preserving whole privateData, e.g.: virObjectUnref(newdev->privateData); newdev->privateData = g_steal_pointer(&olddev->privateData); but then decided against it. Looks like a heavy gun, though in my debugging all members but 'created' were zero/NULL at point of calling qemuDomainChangeNet(). Then there is qemuDomainNetworkPrivateFormat() and qemuDomainNetworkPrivateParse() combo, but in order to use it I'd need to create and then parse an XML doc (to get 'ctxt') and that looks too much work for very little gain. Does somebody have any other idea? src/qemu/qemu_domain.h | 2 ++ src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 5 +++++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_domain.h b/src/qemu/qemu_domain.h index b4512cc80e..6ba3f10e8d 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_domain.h +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_domain.h @@ -420,6 +420,8 @@ typedef struct _qemuDomainNetworkPrivate qemuDomainNetworkPrivate; struct _qemuDomainNetworkPrivate { virObject parent; + /* Don't forget to possibly copy these members in qemuDomainChangeNet(). */ + /* True if the device was created by us.
