Starting from libvirt-1.2.4, network state XML files moved to another directory (see commit b9e95491) and libvirt automatically migrates the network state files to a new location. However, the code used dirent.dt_type which is not supported by all filesystems. Thus, when libvirt is upgraded on a host which uses such filesystem, network state XMLs were not properly moved and running networks disappeared from libvirt. This patch falls back to stat() whenever dirent.dt_type is DT_UNKNOWN to fix this issue. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1167145 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/network/bridge_driver.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/network/bridge_driver.c b/src/network/bridge_driver.c index 6cb421c..7066dfe 100644 --- a/src/network/bridge_driver.c +++ b/src/network/bridge_driver.c @@ -499,15 +499,34 @@ networkMigrateStateFiles(void) } while ((direrr = virDirRead(dir, &entry, oldStateDir)) > 0) { + if (entry->d_type != DT_UNKNOWN && + entry->d_type != DT_REG) + continue; - if (entry->d_type != DT_REG || - STREQ(entry->d_name, ".") || + if (STREQ(entry->d_name, ".") || STREQ(entry->d_name, "..")) continue; if (virAsprintf(&oldPath, "%s/%s", oldStateDir, entry->d_name) < 0) goto cleanup; + + if (entry->d_type == DT_UNKNOWN) { + struct stat st; + + if (stat(oldPath, &st) < 0) { + virReportSystemError(errno, + _("failed to stat network status file '%s'"), + oldPath); + goto cleanup; + } + + if (!S_ISREG(st.st_mode)) { + VIR_FREE(oldPath); + continue; + } + } + if (virFileReadAll(oldPath, 1024*1024, &contents) < 0) goto cleanup; -- 2.1.3
