Fixed In Version: libvirt-1.2.8-1.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Due to a bug in the underlying code, each attribute of the [driver/] element of the libvirt [interface/] setting was incorrectly formatted with its own [driver/] element. As a consequence, only the first [driver/] element and its attribute were parsed back, and the following [driver/] elements and their attributes were ignored. This could lead to a number of features not working correctly. With this update, the [driver/] is formatted only once with all the attributes, and is therefore parsed as intended. As a result, the described problem no longer occurs.

Created attachment 925745 [details]
vdsm.log

Description of problem:
<driver queues='X'/> is accepted but not formatted back
Vdsm reports XML to libvirt, but just doesn't format it back in the XML
ps -ww `pgrep qemu-kvm`   -  fds=25:26:27:28:29:30:31 (7 queues)
Libvirt requires driver name or txmode

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.1.1-29.el7_0.1.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Config value for queue on vNIC profile  
2. Check vdsm reports XML to libvirt 
3. Run ps -ww `pgrep qemu-kvm`

Actual results:
<driver queues='X'/> is accepted but not formatted back

Expected results:
<driver queues='X'/> should be formatted back in the XML

Comment 2 Michal Privoznik 2014-08-12 08:03:39 UTC
I've just pushed the patch upstream:

    conf: Format interface's driver more frequently
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1128751
    
    There's this <driver/> element under <interface/> which can have
    several attributes. However, the driver element is currently formated
    only if the driver's name or txmode has been specified. This makes
    only a little sense as we parse even partial <driver/>, for instance:
    
        <interface type='user'>
          <mac address='52:54:00:e5:48:58'/>
          <model type='virtio'/>
          <driver ioeventfd='on' event_idx='on' queues='5'/>
        </interface>
    
    But such XML would never get formatted back.

Can this be cloned to 7.0.z, as a RHEV-3.5 feature depends on it?

Sure it can. Although we need PM help here to clone it.
