However, this feature has been requested [1] - how easy will it be to
add that support after this patch is applied?
[1]
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658713
yeah, it will affects patch for that feature, but not much
I think, just need to skip the block like:
if (!persistent) {
if (!vm->updated)
vm->updated = 1;
......
}

In all of these cases, you issue VIR_ERROR but don't change the return
status. Is that intentional, or should we make the overall API fail if
we can't create the transient counterpart?
It was intentional, as probly the domain configuration was updated
successfully by previous codes, but yeah, it's not much reasonable here.
And depending on the answer to that question, should we be
attempting
the virDomainObjSetDefTransient sooner, so as to guarantee that we have
the transient counterpart prior to making any attempt to change the
running domain, so that we don't have to worry about rolling back
changes as part of returning failure?
Ah, yeah, good idea, using virDomainObjSetDefTransient sooner will be
avoid considering the upper question, as the running domain
configuration should be transient properly, we even don't need to
worry about whether the coming changes on the config be success or not.
Will update, thanks, Eric
