This patch simplifies (?) the of qemuDomainChangeNet() code while
fixing some incorrect decisions about exactly when it's necessary to
re-attach an interface's bridge device, or to fail the device update
(needReconnect[*]) because the type of connection has changed (or
within bridge and direct (macvtap) type because some attribute of the
connection has changed that can't actually be modified after the
tap/macvtap device of the interface is created).
Example 1: it's pointless to require the bridge device to be
reattached just because the interface has been switched to a different
network (i.e. the name of the network is different), since the new
network could be using the same bridge as the old network (very
uncommon, but technically possible). Instead we should only care if
the name of the *bridge device* changes (or if something in
<virtualport> changes - see Example 3).
Example 2: wrt changing the "type" of the interface, a change should
be allowed if old and new type both used a bridge device (whether or
not the name of the bridge changes), or if old and new type are both
"direct" *and* the device being linked and macvtap mode remain the
same. Any other change in interface type cannot be accommodated and
should be a failure (i.e. needReconnect).
Example 3: there is no valid reason to fail just because the interface
has a <virtualport> element - the <virtualport> could just say
"type='openvswitch'" in both the before and after cases (in which case
it isn't a change by itself, and so is completely acceptable), and
even if the interfaceid changes, or the <virtualport> disappears
completely, that can still be reconciled by simply re-attaching the
bridge device. (If, on the other hand, the modified <virtualport> is
for a type='direct' interface, we can't domodify that, and so must
fail (needReconnect).)
(I tried splitting this into multiple patches, but they were so
intertwined that the intermediate patches made no sense.)
[*] "needReconnect" was a flag added to this function way back in
2012, when I still believed that QEMU might someday support connecting
a new & different device backend (the way the virtual device connects
to the host) to an already existing guest netdev (the virtual device
as it appears to the guest). Sadly that has never happened, so for the
purposes of qemuDOmainChangeNet() "needReconnect" is equivalent to
"fail".
