Package: libvirt-clients Version: 9.0.0-4 Severity: normal Hi,
Working on some network-oriented tools (https://pts-project.org/), I ended up wanting to down/up some network links from the virtualization host (running libvirt, with the QEMU backend). The first step worked just fine, the second step will surprise you: virsh # domif-setlink ViRogue --interface 52:54:00:03:73:13 --state down Device updated successfully virsh # domif-setlink ViRogue --interface 52:54:00:03:73:13 --state up error: Failed to update interface link state error: (device_definition):6: Attribute state redefined <link state="down" state="up"/> -----------------------------------^ The same happens with both 'up' and 'down', with or without --interface and --state, and really looks like some basic logic bug somewhere in the XML update code? (I haven't looked at the implementation just yet.) That used to work fine but I couldn't say for sure which version(s) (as I've run Debian 9 and Debian 11 previously, but with some backports); at the time, I used that quite heavily to test bonding on virtualized images with a lot of interfaces, without any such obvious issues.
