[lxc-devel] [PATCH] make reboot with persistent veth name work

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

In this patch I'm simply deleting the old network interface before
recreating it when a persistent interface name was used. I think this
makes sense since mac addresses are reconfigured, and the peer would
otherwise already sit in the other namespace making this otherwise a
more difficult task AFAIK.

In order to know when to do this I moved the palce where conf->reboot
is reset toa fter lxc_spawn. A quick grep through the source showed
that this should be fine, though if another solution is desired I'm
willing to work on this a bit more.


On an unrelated note: I've noticed that sometimes pull requests from github
don't seem to make it to the devel list. With my first PR I thought it
was due to the missing email address association on github (and I saw
it appear on the list after fixing this and commenting about it within
the PR), but my current one about seccomp didn't show up in my mailbox
either. Is this intended?
