Currently, if there's an error opening /dev/vhost-net (e.g. because it doesn't exist) but it's not required we proceed with vhostfd array filled with -1 and vhostfdSize unchanged. Later, when constructing the qemu command line only non-negative items within vhostfd array are taken into account. This means, vhostfdSize may be greater than the actual count of non-negative items in vhostfd array. This results in improper command line arguments being generated, e.g.: -netdev tap,fd=21,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=(null) --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 14 ++++++++------ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 0373626..c4a162a 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -486,6 +486,10 @@ qemuOpenVhostNet(virDomainDefPtr def, "but is unavailable")); goto error; } + VIR_WARN("Unable to open vhost-net.
