[PATCH 3/5] network: read status from old location and move to new

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This eliminates problems with upgrading from older libvirt that stores
network status in /var/lib/libvirt/network to newer libvirt that
stores it in /var/run/libvirt/network, by also reading any status
files from the old location, saving them to the new location, and
removing them from the old location.

This will not help those trying to downgrade, but in practice this
will only be problematic in two cases

1) If there are networks with network-wide bandwidth limits configured
   and in use by a guest during a downgrade to "old" libvirt. In this
   case, the class ID's used for that network's tc rules, as well as
   the currently in-use bandwidth "floor" will be forgotten

2) If someone does this: 1) upgrade, 2) downgrade, 3) modify running
   state of network (e.g. add a static dhcp host, etc), 4) upgrade. In
   this case, the modifications to the running network will be lost
   (but not any persistent changes to the network's config).

I have an idea of how to make these cases work properly as well
(involving symlinks in /var/lib pointing to /var/run) but want to
avoid keeping such an ugly legacy around (forever) unlesss others
think it is absolutely necessary to support flawless downgrades across
this line *while remaining in service*.
