"actual state" with the config of the device, it's internally stored
like this:
[D]
<interface type='network'>
<source network='testnet' portgroup='admin'/>
<actual type='direct'>
<source dev='p4p1_0' mode='bridge'/>
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='5000' burst='1024'/>
<outbound average='128' peak='256' burst='256'/>
</bandwidth>
</actual>
<target dev='macvtap0'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
This was never exposed outside of libvirt though, because I thought it
would be too awkward for a management application to need to look in
two places for the same information, but I also wasn't sure that it
would be okay to overwrite the config info (in this case "<source
network='testnet' portgroup='admin'/>") with the actual runtime info
(everything inside <actual> above).
Now the time has come that this information must be made available to
management applications (in particular, so that a network "plugged"
hook will have full information about the device that is being plugged
in), so it's time to take the leap and decide that it is acceptable
for the config info to be replaced with actual runtime state (but
*only* when reporting domain live status, *not* when saving state in
/etc/libvirt/qemu/$domain.xml - that remains the same so that there is
no loss of information). That is what this patch does. With this patch
applied, the output of "virsh dumpxml $domain" when the domain is
running will contain something like this:
[E]
<interface type='direct'>
<source dev='p4p1_0' mode='bridge'/>
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='5000' burst='1024'/>
<outbound average='128' peak='256' burst='256'/>
</bandwidth>
<target dev='macvtap0'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
In effect, everything that is internally stored within <actual> is
moved up a level to where a management application will expect
it. This means that the management application will only look in a
single place to learn - the type of interface in use, the name of the
physdev (if relevant), the <bandwidth>, <vlan>, and <virtualport>
settings in use.
The potential downside is that a management app looking at this output
will not see that the physdev 'p4p1_0' was actually allocated from the
network named 'testnet', or that the bandwidth numbers were taken from
the portgroup 'admin'. However, if they are interested in that info,
they can always get the "inactive" XML for the domain.
An example of where this could cause problems is in virt-manager's
network device display, which shows the status of the device, but
allows you to edit that status info and save it as the new
config. Previously virt-manager would always display the information
in example [C] above, and allow editing that. With this patch, it will
instead display what is in [E] and allow editing it directly, which
could lead to some confusion. I would suggest that virt-manager have
an "edit" button which would change the display from the "live" xml to
the "inactive" xml, so that editing would be done on that; such a
change would both handle the new situation, and also be compatible
with older releases.
