[PATCH v3]: set and restore MAC address of a NIC when using PASSTHROUGH mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is another rework of the patch from Dirk addressing all comments
received so far.

The following patch addresses the problem that when a PASSTHROUGH 
mode DIRECT NIC connection is made the MAC address of the NIC is 
not automatically set and reset to the configured VM MAC and 
back again.

The attached patch fixes this problem by setting and resetting the MAC
while remembering the previous setting while the VM is running.
This also works if libvirtd is restarted while the VM is running.

the patch passes make syntax-check
