This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045002 If a domain has an <interface type='hostdev'> or an <interface type='network'> where the network itself is a pool of hostdev devices, then libvirt will internally keep that device on both the interface list *and* the hostdev list for the domain. One of the places this comes in handy is when a new device is being added and libvirt wants to find a unique "alias" name for it - it just scans through the hostdev array and makes sure it picks a name that doesn't match the alias of any device in that array. However, when libvirtd was restarted, if there was an <interface type='network'> with the network being a hostdev pool, the device would not be added to the reconstructed internal hostdev array, so its alias would not be found during a scan of the hostdev array, thus attempts to add a new hostdev (or <interface type='hostdev'> or <interface type='network'>) would result in a message like this: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Duplicate ID 'hostdev0' for device This patch simply fixes the existing code in the domain XML parser that fixes up the hostdev array in the case of <interface type='hostdev'> to do the same thing in the case of <interface type='network'> with a hostdev network. This bug has existed since the very first addition of hostdev networks to libvirt (0.10.0).
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.
