The VNC code for interpreting QemuOpts does not currently distinguish between ipv4/ipv6 being omitted, and being set to 'off', because historically the 'ipv4' and 'ipv6' options were just flags which did not accept a value.
The upshot is that if someone runs $QEMU -vnc localhost:1,ipv6=off QEMU still uses PF_UNSPEC and thus may still bind to IPv6, when it should use PF_INET. This is another instance of the problem previously fixed for chardevs in commit b77e7c8e99f9ac726c4eaa2fc3461fd886017dc0 Author: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> Date: Mon Oct 12 15:35:16 2015 +0200 qemu-sockets: fix conversion of ipv4/ipv6 JSON to QemuOpts Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <ebl...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
