We now have a qemuInterfaceStartDevices() which does the final activation needed for the host-side tap/macvtap devices that are used for qemu network connections. It will soon make sense to have the converse qemuInterfaceStopDevices() which will undo whatever was done during qemuInterfaceStartDevices(). A function to "stop" a single device has also been added, and is called from the appropriate place in qemuDomainDetachNetDevice(), although this is currently unnecessary - the device is going to immediately be deleted anyway, so any extra "deactivation" will be for naught. The call is included for completeness, though, in anticipation that in the future there may be some required action that *isn't* nullified by deleting the device. This patch is a part of a more complete fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081461
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.
