[Fuzail Ahmad]

Problem Statement:

Libvirt failed to claim Virtual Functions  on hostdev network after VM
reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirtd (libvirt) 2.0.0

kernel-4.1.12-112.16.4.el7uek.x86_64

Reproducible: Not always


Description:

I am doing a reboot of Virtual machines and sometimes one of the VM
does not start and fail with the following error
In total I have spun 3 VMs out of which 2 gets started and 1 of them
fail with the below error.

[root at sriov2 ~]# virsh start VM3
error: Failed to attach interface
error: internal error: network 'hostnet' requires exclusive access to
interfaces, but none are available

[root at sriov2 ~]# virsh net-dumpxml hostnet
<network connections='2'>
  <name>hostnet</name>
  <uuid>c1fb4ead-21b8-4d69-8ad9-669c55b3dfc7</uuid>
  <forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0f' slot='0x10' function='0x0'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0f' slot='0x10' function='0x2'/>
  </forward>
</network>


However, "ip link show" command shows 8 VFs in total.

# ip link show ens2
