commit09778e09switched from using ioctl(SIOCBRDELBR) for bridge device deletion to using a netlink RTM_DELLINK message, which is the more modern way to delete a bridge (and also doesn't require the bridge to be ~IFF_UP to succeed). However, although older kernels (e.g. 2.6.32, in RHEL6/CentOS6) support deleting *some* link types with RTM_NEWLINK, they don't support deleting bridges, and there is no compile-time way to figure this out. This patch moves the body of the SIOCBRDELBR version of virNetDevBridgeDelete() into a static function, calls the new function from the original, and also calls the new function from the RTM_DELLINK version if the RTM_DELLINK message generates an EOPNOTSUPP error. Since RTM_DELLINK is done from the subordinate function virNetlinkDelLink, which is also called for other purposes (deleting a macvtap interface), a function pointer called "fallback" has been added to the arglist of virNetlinkDelLink() - if that arg != NULL, the provided function will be called when (and only when) RTM_DELLINK fails with EOPNOTSUPP. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1252780 (part 2) (cherry picked from commit97d26e470d)
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.
