The problem is that g_get_host_name() caches the hostname in a thread local variable. Therefore, it doesn't reflect any subsequent hostname changes. While this might be acceptable for logs where the hostname is printed exactly once when the libvirtd starts up, it is not optimal for virGetHostnameImpl() which is what our public virConnectGetHostname() API calls.
If the hostname at the moment of the first API invocation happens to be
s/be/start with/
"localhost" or contains a dot, then no further hostname changes will ever be reflected. This reverts 26d9748ff11, partially. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <[email protected]> --- src/util/virutil.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
