Conflicts are resolved.
This is a temporary reverting for it introduces regression of device
detaching (any device XML doesn't uses the same order as libvirt
generates, or has uses decimal for some attrs (e.g. "slot") will
cause the failure, as virsh compares the XML simply earlier before internal
parsing). We could take the patch back when the new API for normalizing
XML is ready.

Do we really want to flat-out revert this entire patch?

This function seems like we would still be using it if we add the new
API for normalizing XML; so reverting it just to re-add it later doesn't
make as much sense as just leaving it in place and not using it for now
(but you may have to add a compiler attribute to mark it unused in the
meantime).
Agreed

This was the function where Dan suggested the idea of taking
(normalized) oldXML, and turning it into a couple of XPath queries of
the domain XML. For example, if the user passes only a MAC address,
that would translate into an XPath query of how many interface/mac
elements exist, and if that is exactly one, then grab the interface node
that contains the given interface/mac value. So we may be rewriting
this anyways, at which point it is no different if we keep this function
around unused or wait for the rewrite.

Some of these cleanups, such as setting up funcRet to a default value
and adding a cleanup label, were independently useful. I'm not sure
whether reverting the entire patch, or just the portion associated with
the problems of subset matching, makes more sense. That is,
-
- ret = vshCompleteXMLFromDomain(ctl, dom, buffer,&new_buffer);
- if (ret< 0) {
- if (ret == -2) {
- vshError(ctl, _("no such device in %s"), virDomainGetName(dom));
- } else if (ret == -3) {
- vshError(ctl, "%s", _("given XML selects too many devices. "
- "Please, be more specific"));
- } else {
- /* vshCompleteXMLFromDomain() already printed error message,
- * so nothing to do here. */
- }
- goto cleanup;
+ virDomainFree(dom);
+ return false;
}
this would be the only hunk that really matters, rather than the entire
patch, while still keeping all the other improvements of the original,
and keeping the attempt around for comparing against a future patch that
does a better comparison job.
Agreed.
I'm inclined to say:
Don't push this patch until we have the replacement ready to go. What
we have now may not be 100% working, but it does work in some cases,
while reverting now with no replacement takes us back to 0% working. In
other words, I think that using this patch in isolation is wrong; and
would feel more comfortable ack-ing it as part of a larger series that
replaces things with a better version. There's still time to get such a
series written before 0.9.10.
Agreed.
