Oh, I see. But then we have the converse problem:
+ rc = ifaceSetMacaddr(linkdev, macaddress);
+ if (rc) {
+ virReportSystemError(errno,
+ _("Setting MAC address on '%s' to "
+ "'%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' failed."),
But ifaceSetMacaddr returns EINVAL without setting errno on at least one
error path, which means this can print a bogus errno value.
So we should either fix the iface* functions to follow convention of -1
return and valid errno used in other libvirt interfaces (rather than
positive return), as well as fix its clients; or we should fix this
particular ifaceSetMacaddr call to fit in with the different convention.
