we weren't honoring the <bandwidth> element in libvirt networks using
<forward mode='bridge'/>. In fact, these networks are just a method of
giving a libvirt network name to an existing Linux host bridge on the
system, and even if it were technically possible for us to set
network-wide bandwidth limits for all the taps on a bridge, it's
probably not a polite thing to do since libvirt is just using a bridge
that was created by someone else for other purposes. So the proper
thing is to just log an error when someone tries to put a <bandwidth>
element in that type of network.
While looking through the network XML documentation and comparing it
to the networkValidate function, I noticed that we also ignore the
presence of a mac address in the config, even though we do nothing
with it in this case either.
This patch updates networkValidate() (which is called any time a
persistent network is defined, or a transient network created) to log
an error and fail if it finds either a <bandwidth> or <mac> element
and the network forward mode is anything except 'route'. 'nat', or
nothing. (Yes, neither of those elements is acceptable for any macvtap
mode, nor for a hostdev network).
NB: This does *not* cause failure to start any existing network that
contains one of those elements, so someone might have erroneously
defined such a network in the past, and that network will continue to
function unmodified. I considered it too disruptive to suddenly break
working configs on the next reboot after a libvirt upgrade.

Indeed :-) I really should get myself Cc'ed on more bugzilla
copmonents/products so that I notice these things sooner.

networkAllocateActualDevice: Set QoS for bridgeless networks too
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055484
In the commit I'm trying to inherit network QoS to the interface that
is just being created. Yes, it involves some magic but it works. I
guess we need to agree if we want this approach or mine as they seem
to be contradictionary.
Since you've reverted yours, should I push this?
After that, we may want to talk about 1) supporting use of the "dev"
attribute in <forward> to name a *single* forwarding interface, and
applying a network's <bandwidth> to that interface (while still failing
in other cases), and 2) maybe supporting Open vSwitch in a more thorough
manner so that projects like ovirt can use it to create intermediate
bridges and manage their bandwidth via libvirt <network> xml.
Yes. Please do push your patch. ACK.
Michal
