For direct attach devices, in qemuBuildCommandLine, we seem to be freeing
actual device on error path (with networkReleaseActualDevice). But the actual
device is not deleted.
qemuProcessStop eventually deletes the direct attach device and releases actual
device. But by the time qemuProcessStop is called qemuBuildCommandLine
has already freed actual device. Leaving stray macvtap devices behind on error.
So the simplest fix is to remove the networkReleaseActualDevice in
qemuBuildCommandLine. This patch does just that.
Does this look right ?. I have only verified this with direct and bridge mode.
You're right and to me your patch looks ok too. When using the interface
type=network and then network in 'macvtap direction connection' mode [1]
and an error happens in qemuBuildCommandLine I also see a stray macvtap
device left behind. We're calling networkReleaseActualDevice two times
and that seems to not work in this configuration. In the case when
macvtap is used via interface type='direct' it works fine with or
without your patch.

The other option is to do both delMacvtap and networkReleaseActualDevice in
qemuBuildCommandLine instead of doing only networkReleaseActualDevice.
I do have a patch for this too.
