steps to reproduce:
1. having a network xml file(named default.xml) like this one:
<network>
<name>default</name>
<uuid>c5322c4c-81d0-4985-a363-ad6389780d89</uuid>
<bridge name="virbr0" />
<forward/>
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/, and mark it as autostart:
$ ls -l /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 12 14:02 default.xml -> ../default.xml
2. start libvirtd and the device virbr0 is not automatically up.
The reason is that the function virNetDevExists is now returns 1 if
the device exists, comparing to the former one returns 0 if the device
exists. But with only this fix will cause a segmentation fault(the same
steps as above) that is fixed by the second chunk of code.
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.
