Recommended update for libvirt and libnetcontrol
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for libvirt and libnetcontrol
This is a collective update to libvirt and libnetcontrol.
In libvirt, the following issues have been resolved:
* Add upstream patch to make PCI multifunction support
more manual (bnc#753313).
* Fix libvirtd deadlock on shutdown (bnc#767797).
* Check for errors when parsing bridge interface XML
(bnc#760500).
* Improve error reporting when parsing domainXML
character devices (bnc#761314).
* Add upstream patch to fix ref count of virNetServer
object.
* Fix 'make uninstall' error.
Libnetcontrol was updated to version 0.2.6, resolving
issues reported in bnc#760500, bnc#763388, bnc#765040 and
bnc#754001:
* Fetch IP addresses and routes in system refresh via
netlink, adds libnl-1 dependency to libnetcontrol.
* Do not use -o rc for ifup or it fails when startmode
is set to manual.
* Always call ifstatus in ncf_if_status and not check
interface operstate to better match ifstatus results.
* Check type while creating topology tree as well, not
only if the interface specific data exists.
* Do not report error in ncf_if_xml_state when
interface does not exist any more.
* Improved error handling, report several errors once.
* Expose a lot of error details to the caller.
* Fixed to parse and configure complete interface trees
and fixed a senseless type check that caused SEGV.
* Fetch MAC address from system when not in the
configuration.
* Fixed ARP IP target bonding option handling and
expose errors while trying to add not unique slave
interface.
* Refresh config handle earlier in ncf_define, fixed a
double free in regression test.
* Automatically start port/slave/base interfaces when
stating a bridge/bond/vlan.
