Rather than sticking the flag into the domain definition, I'd rather
pass it via the flags argument to
virDomainDeviceDefParse/virDomainNetDefParseXML - that is, most callers
will want:
virDomainDeviceDefParse(..., 0)
but qemuDomainDetachDevice (in qemu_driver.c) will want:
virDomainDeviceDefParse(..., VIR_DOMAIN_PARSE_NO_GENERATE)
(or maybe VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE vs.
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE|VIR_DOMAIN_PARSE_NO_GENERATE)
That is, it's more than just detaching an interface mac addresses that
has an issue. It's anywhere that parsing a device XML snippet to be
used to match an existing device that we want to suppress generation of
additional items in the parse (this includes generating a random mac for
an interface, but may include other generated items). So adding a new
flag that can be used to tell ALL parse routines to avoid generating
extra data is more useful than changing the domain definition to say
whether one piece of information was generated.
Yes, i firstly thought in similar way. But I don't really need to
suppress generation of random values. I need information whether user
gave say mac in input XML or not. Same apply for pci address (by the
way, we don't support detaching by it now). The idea behind is:
if (<mac was generated> && <pci addr was generated>) {
if (domain->nnets == 1)
device_clone_mac(domain->nnet[0], device)
else
error("don't know which detach")
} else {
search for device
}
If i suppress generation, I wouldn't know if it was generated anyway,
because mac is stored in statically allocated array. One (tricky) way
out of this is to set mac before to some special mac (e.g. all 0's) and
then check for change. But I'd rather avoid it. Changing array to
dynamically allocated is huge amount of work to be done, because it is
hard to find pieces of code touching it, and omitting even one line may
lead into sigegv.
But I agree, sticking the flag into domain definition is not very clean
either.
One way out of this is adding pointer to flag as (another) function
parameter. Would this be acceptable?
