The check for a network being active during interface attach was being done individually in several places (by both the lxc driver and the qemu driver), but those places were too specific, leading to it *not* being checked when allocating a connection/device from a macvtap or hostdev network. This patch puts a single check in networkAllocateActualDevice(), which is always called before the any network interface is attached to any type of domain. It also removes all the other now-redundant checks from the lxc and qemu drivers. NB: the following patches are prerequisites for this patch, in the case that it is backported to any branch: 440beeb network: fix virNetworkObjAssignDef and persistence 8aaa5b6 network: create statedir during driver initialization b9e9549 network: change location of network state xml files 411c548 network: set macvtap/hostdev networks active if their state file exists This fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880483
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.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
