[libvirt] [PATCHv2 5/9] network: store network fdb setting in NetDef actual object

Laine Stump laine at laine.org

At the time that the network driver allocates a connection to a
network, the tap device that will be used hasn't yet been created -
that will be done later by qemu (or lxc or whoever) - but if the
network has fdb='managed', then when we do get around to creating the
tap device, we will need to add an entry for it to the network
bridge's fdb (forwarding database) *and* turn off learning and
unicast_flood for that tap device in the bridge's sysfs settings. This
means that qemu needs to know both the bridge name as well as the
setting of fdb, so we either need to create a new API to retrieve that
info, or just pass it back in the ActualNetDef that is created during
networkAllocateActualDevice. We choose the latter method, since it's
already done for the bridge device, and it has the side effect of
making the information available in domain status.

(NB: in the future, I think that the tap device should actually be
created by networkAllocateActualDevice(), as that will solve several
other problems, but that is a battle for another day, and this
information will still be useful outside the network driver)
