We've been carrying this exact patch in RHEL 7 for several years. It reverts the change made in 2014 where we switched to using the virbr0 bridge for libguestfs networking instead of SLIRP. We thought SLIRP was going to become unsupported in qemu, but recently there have been more encouraging signs since it looks like SLIRP will be spun off as a separate project, running as a modular process and properly secured and supported. This reverts commit 224de20b9a8d5ea56f6337f19b4ca237bb88eca0. --- lib/guestfs-internal.h | 11 +++++ lib/guestfs.pod | 10 ----- lib/launch-direct.c | 11 ----- lib/launch-libvirt.c | 91 ++++++++++-------------------------------- 4 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 91 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/guestfs-internal.h b/lib/guestfs-internal.h index 3274dcdf0..57647d11c 100644 --- a/lib/guestfs-internal.h +++ b/lib/guestfs-internal.h @@ -136,6 +136,17 @@ #define MACHINE_TYPE "pseries" #endif +/* Differences in qemu device names on ARMv7 (virtio-mmio), s/390x + * (CCW) vs normal hardware with PCI. + */ +#if defined(__arm__) +#define VIRTIO_DEVICE_NAME(type) type "-device" +#elif defined(__s390x__) +#define VIRTIO_DEVICE_NAME(type) type "-ccw" +#else +#define VIRTIO_DEVICE_NAME(type) type "-pci" +#endif + /* Guestfs handle and associated structures. */ /* State. */ diff --git a/lib/guestfs.pod b/lib/guestfs.pod index 3a9805c95..e1998c7eb 100644 --- a/lib/guestfs.pod +++ b/lib/guestfs.pod @@ -1551,16 +1551,6 @@ On Fedora, install C<kernel-debuginfo> for the C<vmlinux> file (containing symbols).
