Use virNetDevSetupControl instead of open coding using socket(AF_LOCAL...) and clearing virIfreq. By using virNetDevSetupControl, the socket is then opened using AF_PACKET which requires being privileged (effectively root) in order to complete successfully. Since that's now a requirement, then the ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL) should not fail with EPERM, thus it is removed from the filtered listed of failure codes. Signed-off-by: John Ferlan <jferlan@redhat.com>
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.
