libvirt will never known what the original domain conf is then.

Sounds to me like this is a bug in libvirtd reloading. For a running
persistent guest, libvirt should be looking in two files: both the
running state (/var/run/libvirt/qemu/$dom.xml) and the next-boot state
(/etc/lib/libvirt/qemu/$dom.xml); and if they differ, then assign
vm->newDef to the persistent definition.
Is this too expensive? Need to compare most of the properties of the
domain conf (except the auto-generated info, and some other fixed info
such as domain name, UUID, etc. All other info which could be changed
lively should be compared).
Instead remeber if there was live changes in XML cost low, though need
to modify much of the functions I guess.
In other words, the bug is that vm->newdef was NULL after libvirtd
restart.
Yes.
The solution in my mind is to add some attribute to the status XML, such
as "live_updated=1", and do the checking when loading the domain conf
from status XML:
Shouldn't need any XML changes; rather, libvirtd just needs to be
taught to properly reconstruct its state from multiple files, instead
of assuming that the first file that worked was all the state it needed.
For a transient domain, we still have no way to get the original domain
conf,
that means one will still be surprised when seeing the the disk is still
there.
For a transient domain, it is already forbidden to request a
persistent change. So you can't get into this situation in the first
place unless you have a persistent domain.
