This was filed against fedora 23 version, but by the upstream discussion this sounds relevant to libvirt.git as well, and it affects openstack, so worth considering for RHEL. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1372944 +++ Description of problem: Due to this commit cb3fe38c (which supposed to fix this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1113474) libvirt is now setting the mac on the VF using netlink RTM_SETLINK but not on the VF's netdev name. For macvtap-passthrough we need the mac to be set both on VF's netdev name and using the VF using netlink RTM_SETLINK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.2.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: create a guest with macvtap-passthrough in openstack The guest will not get DHCP because the the VF's netdev name is not set. Actual results: guest didn't get DHCP Expected results: guest should get DHCP Additional info: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-September/msg00008.html
Hmm. How did I previously miss that this is the same as Bug 1415609. Could have saved the trouble of filing that one. Anyway there is now a lot of comment/info in there, so I'm closing this bug as a duplicate of that one (which will be fixed - half of the patches are already pushed, and the other half waiting for one more ACK). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1415609 ***
