This basically reverts commit ba64b97134a6129a48684f22f31be92c3b6eef96 "libxl: Allow libxl to set NIC devid". However assigning devid's before calling libxlMakeNic does not work as that is calling libxl_device_nic_init which sets it back to -1. Right now auto-assignment only works in the hotplug case. But even if that would be fixed at some point (if that is possible at all), this would add a weird dependency between Xen and libvirt versions. The change here should accept any auto-assignment that makes it into libxl_device_nic_init. My understanding is that a caller always is allowed to make the devid choice itself. And assuming libxlMakeNicList is only used on domain creation, a sequential numbering should be ok. Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@canonical.com>
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.
