Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235961 If using the default virtual network, an easy way to lose guest network connectivity is to install libvirt inside the VM. The autostarted default network inside the guest collides with host virtual network routing. This is a long standing issue that has caused users quite a bit of pain and confusion. On network startup, parse /proc/net/route and compare the requested IP+netmask against host routing destinations: if any matches are found, refuse to start the network. v2: Drop sscanf, fix a comment typo, comment that function could use libnl instead of /proc v3: Consider route netmask. Compare binary data rather than convert to string. v4: Return to using sscanf, drop inet functions in favor of virSocket, parsing safety checks. Don't make parse failures fatal, in case expected format changes. v5: Try and continue if we receive unexpected. Delimit parsed lines to prevent scanning past newline
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.
