Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1316465 An attempt to simplify the code for the VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_BRIDGE case of networkUpdateState in commit b61db335 (first in release 1.2.14) resulted in networks based on macvtap bridge mode being erroneously marked as inactive any time libvirtd was restarted. The problem is that the original code had differentiated between a network using tap devices to connect to an existing host-bridge device (forward mode of VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_BRIDGE and a non-NULL def->bridge), and one using macvtap bridge mode to connect to any ethernet device (still forward mode VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_BRIDGE, but null def->bridge), but the changed code assumed that all networks with VIR_NETWORK_FORWARD_BRIDGE were tap + host-bridge networks, so a null def->bridge was interpreted as "inactive". This patch restores the original code in networkUpdateState
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.
