Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

When a network device that is a VF of an SR-IOV card was assigned to a guest using <interface type='hostdev'>, only the MAC address was being saved/restored, but the VLAN tag was left untouched. Up to now we haven't actually used vlan tags on SR-IOV devices, so the guest would have used whatever was set, and left it the same at the end. The patch following this one will hook up the <vlan> element from the interface config, so save/restore of the device state needs to also include the vlan tag. MAC address is being saved as a simple ASCII string in a file named for the device under /var/run. The VLAN tag is now just added at the end of that file, after a newline. It might be nicer if the file was XML (in case it ever gets more complicated) but at the moment there's nothing else on the horizon, and this makes backward compatibility easier. |

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.
