This is a good catch, but incomplete. If you search for other
occurrences of virDomainConfNWFilterTeardown() and
qemuPhysIfaceConnect(), you will find the same problem exists in two
other places in the code:
qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine (during error cleanup, needs to be
called
for the one interface that was
partially
created)
qemuBuildCommandLine (during error cleanup, needs to be
called
for all interfaces that were
completely
created (up to last_good_net))
We really should fix them all in one patch, since they are all the same
problem.
Thank you for your comments. I tested the two cases that you mentioned
by forcing errors; in both, the macvtap will be released by code in
qemuProcessStop(), which releases any macvtap in the domain's nets list.
Is this sufficient, or did you still want something changed?
True ... the only other driver function that invokes qemBuildCommandLine
is connectDomainXMLToNative and here some premonition has prevented
the allocation of macvtap devices :)
(Ideally, *all* guest interface setup for each interface should be
handled in a single function, and that function should be in the network
driver (networkReleaseActualDevice() seems properly situated). That way
it could be put behind an RPC, and the non-privileged libvirtd could
call it too (with proper credentials). That is a larger problem, though.)
I agree, to both parts (proper structure and magnitude of effort).
Laine,
given that the patch solves the problem at hand and the other cases
are handled properly: are you OK with the current, simple approach?
The issue for us is that the dangling macvtap device prevents the reuse
of the interface's MAC address on s390 and there's no libvirt means
to delete the macvtap interface.
