Commit 4bbe1029f fixed a problem in commit f7afeddc by moving the call to virNetDevGetIndex() to a location common to all interface types (so that the niceindex array would be filled in for macvtap as well as tap interfaces), but the location was *too* common, as the original call to virNetDevGetIndex() had been in a section qualified by "if (cfg->privileged)". The result was that the "fixed" libvirtd would try to call virNetDevGetIndex() even for session mode libvirtd, and end up failing with the log message: Unable to open control socket: Operation not permitted To remedy that, this patch qualifies the call to virNetDevGetIndex() in its new location with cfg->privileged.
