- change_network detached the NIC and attached one built from scratch,
dropping its QoS, link state and other settings. It now edits the NIC
of the persistent definition in place and defines once; a running VM
gets the change at its next start, as the UI already says.
- add_network, delete_network and set_link_state did nothing on a
paused VM, and set_link_state rewrote the persistent NIC from the live
XML. They now update the running definition when the VM is active and
the persistent one always, each from its own XML.
- Boot and console edits used xml.etree, which renamed the namespace
prefixes of other tools' metadata (<app:info> became <ns0:info>); they
use lxml now.
- The NIC table and the clone form are filled from the persistent
definition (Instance.config_networks, config_disks), so a pending NIC
change is shown and can be edited again.
A live test runs 18 domain edits on stopped, running and paused VMs
whose definition has elements WebVirtCloud does not manage, and checks
for each the effect, that nothing else in the persistent definition
changed, and that persistent-only edits leave the running VM alone.
add_network built the interface XML with f-strings, so a posted model
or nwfilter could add arbitrary devices to the domain. It is built with
lxml now; a missing MAC is left to libvirt instead of address='None'.
The edit form posts net-*-<n> fields for NIC n and carries only the
new MAC. The backend read index 0 and looked the NIC up by the new MAC,
so editing a MAC detached nothing and attached a second NIC, and edits
of any NIC but the first were applied with empty values.
The form now also posts the current MAC (net-old-mac-<n>). The view
reads the submitted NIC's fields, validates the new MAC and reports
errors. The backend replaces the NIC with the old MAC, refuses an
unknown one, and on a failed attach restores the old NIC and raises
instead of reporting success.
The view crashed with a TypeError without a Referer header; it now
returns to the instance page, and a Referer from another site is
ignored.
