Other drivers in libvirt (e.g. network, qemu) will automatically return the "inactive" (persistent configuration) XML of an object when that object is inactive. The netcf backend of the interface driver would always try to return the live status XML of the interface, even when it was down. Although netcf does return valid XML in that case, for bond interfaces it is missing almost all of its content, including the <bond> subelement itself, leading to this error message from "virsh iface-dumpxml" of a bond interface that is inactive: error: XML error: bond interface misses the bond element (this is because libvirt's validation of the XML returned by netcf always requires a <bond> element be present). This patch modifies the interface driver netcf backend to check if the interface is inactive, and in that case always return the inactive XML (which will always have a <bond> element, thus eliminating the error message, as well as making operation more in line with other drivers. This fixes the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=878394
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.
