This is a simple wrapper around virNetDevBandwidthManipulateFilter() that will update the desired filter on an interface (usually a network bridge) with a new MAC address. Although, the MAC address in question usually refers to some other interface - the one that the filter is constructed for. Yeah, hard to parse. Thing is, our NATed network has a bridge where some part of QoS takes place. And vNICs from guests are plugged into the bridge. However, if a guest decides to change the MAC of its vNIC, the corresponding qemu process emits an event which we can use to update the QoS configuration based on the new MAC address.. However, our QoS hierarchy is currently not notified, therefore it falls apart. This function (when called in response to the aforementioned event) will update our QoS hierarchy and duct tape it together again. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
