Commit 795e9e05c3 (libvirt-7.7.0) refactored the code in virpci.c and virnetdev.c that gathered lists of the Virtual Functions (VF) of an SRIOV Physical Function (PF) to simplify the code.
Unfortunately the simplification made the assumption, in the new function virPCIGetVirtualFunctionsFull(), that a VF's netdev interface name should only be retrieved if the PF had a valid phys_port_id. That is an incorrect assumption - only a small handful of (now previous-generation) Mellanox SRIOV cards actually use phys_port_id (this is for an odd design where there are multiple physical network ports on a single PCI address); all other SRIOV cards (including new Mellanox cards) have a file in sysfs called phys_port_id, but it can't be read, and so the pfPhysPortID string is NULL. The result of this logic error is that virtual networks that are a pool of VFs to be used for macvtap connections will be unable to start, giving an errror like this: VF 0 of SRIOV PF enp130s0f0 couldn't be added to the interface pool because it isn't bound to a network driver - possibly in use elsewhere This error message is misinformed - the caller of virNetDevGetVirtualFunctionsFull() only *thinks* that the VF isn't bound to a network driver because it doesn't see a netdev name for the VF in the list. But that's only because virNetDevGetVirtualFunctionsFull() didn't even try to get the names! We do need a way for virPCIGetVirtualFunctionsFull() to sometimes retrieve the netdev names and sometimes not. One way of doing that would be to send down the netdev name of the PF whenever we also want to know the netdev names of the VFs, but send a NULL when we don't. This can conveniently be done by just *replacing* pfPhysPortID in the arglist with pfNetDevName - pfPhysPortID is determined by simply calling virNetDevGetPhysPortID(pfNetDevName) so we can just make that call down in virPCIGetVirtualFunctionsFull() (when needed). This solves the regression introduced by commit 795e9e05c3, and also nicely sets us up to (in a subsequent commit) move the call to virNetDevGetPhysPortID() down one layer further to virPCIGetNetName(), where it really belongs!
