This patch was created to resolve this upstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784767 and is at least a partial solution to this RHEL RFE: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805071 Previously the only attribute of a network device that could be modified by virUpdateDeviceFlags() ("virsh update-device") was the link state; attempts to change any other attribute would log an error and fail. This patch adds recognition of a change in bridge device name, and supports reconnecting the guest's interface to the new device. Standard audit logs for detaching and attaching a network device are also generated. Although the current auditing function doesn't log the bridge being attached to, this will later be changed in a separate patch.
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.
