This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1020135 If networkAllocateActualDevice() had failed due to a pool of hostdev or direct devices being depleted, the calling function could still call networkReleaseActualDevice() as part of its cleanup, and that function would then unconditionally decrement the connections count for the network, even though it hadn't been incremented (due to failure of allocate). This *was* necessary because the .actual member of the netdef was allocated with a "lazy" algorithm, only being created if there was a need to store data there (e.g. if a device was allocated from a pool, or bandwidth was allocated for the device), so there was no simple way for networkReleaseActualDevice() to tell if something really had been allocated (i.e. if "connections++" had been executed). This patch changes networkAllocateDevice() to *always* allocate an actual device for any netdef of type='network', even if it isn't needed for any other reason. This has no ill effects anywhere else in the code (except for using a small amount of memory), and networkReleaseActualDevice() can then determine if there was a previous successful allocate by checking for .actual != NULL (if not, it skips the "connections--").
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.
