      qemu: homogenize MAC address in live & config when hotplugging a netdev · 6c17606b
      Laine Stump 提交于
      Prior to commit 55ce6564 (first in libvirt 4.6.0), the XML sent to
      virDomainAttachDeviceFlags() was parsed only once, and the results of
      that parse were inserted into both the live object of the running
      domain and into the persistent config. Thus, if MAC address was
      omitted from in XML for a network device (<interface>), both the live
      and config object would have the same MAC address.
      
      Commit 55ce6564 changed the code to parse the incoming XML twice -
      once for live and once for config. This does eliminate the problem of
      PCI (/scsi/sata) address conflicts caused by allocating an address
      based on existing devices in live object, but then inserting the
      result into the config (which may already have a device using that
      address), BUT it also means that when the MAC address of a network
      device hasn't been specified in the XML, each copy will get a
      different auto-generated MAC address.
      
      This results in the MAC address of the device changing the next time
      the domain is shutdown and restarted, which creates havoc with the
      guest OS's network config.
      
      There have been several discussions about this in the last > 1 year,
      attempting to find the ideal solution to this problem that makes MAC
      addresses consistent and accounts for all sorts of corner cases with
      PCI/scsi/sata addresses. All of these discussions fizzled out because
      every proposal was either too difficult to implement or failed to fix
      some esoteric case someone thought up.
      
      So, in the interest of solving the MAC address problem while not
      making the "other address" situation any worse than before, this patch
      simply adds a qemuDomainAttachDeviceLiveAndConfigHomogenize() function
      that (for now) copies the MAC address from the config object to the
      live object (if the original xml had <mac address='blah'/> then this
      will be an effective NOP (as the macs already match)).
      
      Any downstream libvirt containing upstream commit
      55ce6564 should have this patch as well.
