Hi,

Any idea why it's happen and how to keep the slot number? Libvirt version is 4.5.0
I can reproduce this, and also confirm that it shouldn't happen :)

I'll investigate further and get back to you.

qemuDomainAssignAddresses() is supposed to make sure that any address
configured explicitly by the user (or previously by libvirt) is
preserved, and it's doing that correctly when it's called from inside
qemuDomainDefAssignAddresses(); however, for some reason, by the time
we call it again in qemuProcessPrepareDomain() the PCI address for
the network interface is no longer set, and so a fresh one gets
assigned instead.
I'll investigate further and get back to you.
It is a bug in qemuConnectDomainXMLToNative. You'll see we replace
the original type=bridge NIC with a type=ethernet, except we fail
to copy the address info & probably other properties too.

Daniel

Yeah, I figured that out after digging a bit more :)
I'm not quite sure how to fix it properly, though. Adding yet more
properties to the list of those we record before calling
virDomainNetDefClear() and restore afterwards would be a stop-gap
measure at best; limiting ourselves to merely changing net->type,
on the other hand, though it seems to work from a quick test, will
likely lead to hitting other corner cases.
Formatting the XML, replacing the type attribute and parsing it
back perhaps? Other, hopefully better, ideas?

I think the problem is that we tried to use a whitelkist approach
to change the net backend. We should reverse it to use a blacklist
approach and thus not call virDomainNetDefClear at all.
We only need to be doing this munging for the bridge/network/direct/hostdev
network types, but we were lazy and cleared out all types. eg if someone
had requests slirp we should have honoured it.
So we should just selectively replace bits we dont want, leaving everything
else intact.

Daniel
