steps to reproduce:
1. having a network xml file(named default.xml) like this one:
<network>
<name>default</name>
<uuid>
c5322c4c-81d0-4985-a363-
ad6389780d89</uuid>
<bridge name="virbr0" />
<forward/>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/, and mark it as autostart:
$ ls -l /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 12 14:02 default.xml -> ../default.xml
2. start libvirtd and the device virbr0 is not automatically up.
The reason is that the function virNetDevExists is now returns 1 if
the device exists, comparing to the former one returns 0 if the device
exists. But with only this fix will cause a segmentation fault(the same
steps as above) that is fixed by the second chunk of code.
/* If bridge exists, then mark it active */
if (obj->def->bridge &&
- virNetDevExists(obj->def->bridge) == 0) {
+ virNetDevExists(obj->def->bridge) == 1) {
obj->active = 1;
/* Try and read dnsmasq/radvd pids if any */
if (!save_err)
save_err = virSaveLastError();
- ignore_value(virNetDevTapDelete(macTapIfName));
- VIR_FREE(macTapIfName);
+ if (macTapIfName) {
+ ignore_value(virNetDevTapDelete(macTapIfName));
+ VIR_FREE(macTapIfName);
+ }
err0:
if (!save_err)
