Currently, we have a bug when updating a graphics device. A graphics device can have a listen address set. This address is either defined by user (in which case it's type is VIR_DOMAIN_GRAPHICS_LISTEN_TYPE_ADDRESS) or it can be inherited from a network (in which case it's type is VIR_DOMAIN_GRAPHICS_LISTEN_TYPE_NETWORK). However, in both cases we have a listen address to process (e.g. during migration, as I've tried to fix in 7f15ebc7). Later, when a user tries to update the graphics device (e.g. set a password), we check if listen addresses match the original as qemu doesn't know how to change listen address yet. Hence, users are required to not change the listen address. The implementation then just dumps listen addresses and compare them. Previously, while dumping the listen addresses, NULL was returned for NETWORK. After my patch, this is no longer true, and we get a listen address for olddev even if it is a type of NETWORK. So we have a real string on one side, the NULL from user's XML on the other side and hence we think user wants to change the listen address and we refuse it. Therefore, we must take the type of listen address into account as well.
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.
