when appropriate, of course. If the config for a domain specifies boot
order with <boot dev='blah'/> elements, e.g.:
<os>
...
<boot dev='hd'/>
<boot dev='network'/>
</os>
Then the first disk device in the config will have ",bootindex=1"
appended to its qemu commandline -device options, and the first (and
*only* the first) network interface device will get ",bootindex=2".
However, if the first network interface device is a "hostdev" device
(an SRIOV Virtual Function (VF) being assigned to the domain with
vfio), then the bootindex option will *not* be appended. This happens
because the bootindex=n option corresponding to the order of "<boot
dev='network'/>" is added to the -device for the first network device
when network device commandline args are constructed, but if it's a
hostdev network device, its commandline arg is instead constructed in
the loop for hostdevs.
This patch fixes that omission by noticing (in bootHostdevNet) if the
first network device was a hostdev, and if so passing on the proper
bootindex to the commandline generator for hostdev devices - the
result is that ",bootindex=2" will be properly appended to the first
"network" device in the config even if it is really a hostdev
(including if it is assigned from a libvirt network pool). (note that
this is only the case if there is no <bootmenu enabled='yes'/> element
in the config ("-boot menu-on" in qemu) , since the two are mutually
exclusive - when the bootmenu is enabled, the individual per-device
bootindex options can't be used by qemu, and we revert to using "-boot
order=xyz" instead).
If a greater level of control over boot order is desired (e.g., more
than one network device should be tried, or a network device other
than the first one encountered in the config), then <boot
dev='network'/> in the <os> element should not be used; instead, the
individual device elements in the config should be given a "<boot
order='n'/>

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.
