This is my qemu binary compiled with --prefix=/nonexistent


bash-5.1# ./qemu-system-x86_64 -L help
/usr/share/qemu
/usr/share/qemu-firmware
/usr/src/sources/qemu-5.2.0/build/pc-bios

bash-5.1# ./qemu-system-x86_64 --help|grep helper

[,br=bridge][,helper=helper][,sndbuf=nbytes][,vnet_hdr=on|off][,vhost=on|off]
use network helper 'helper' (default=/nonexistent/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper) to
-netdev bridge,id=str[,br=bridge][,helper=helper]
using the program 'helper (default=/nonexistent/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper)

See that it will call /nonexistent/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper by default.

Thanks Paola,

We are still in testing and that's the only thing we've uncovered so far with the new 5.2.0. I will post if the ops guys find anything else.

Hmm, that's weird though.  The path to the default bridge helper is relocated:

net/tap.c:        helper = default_helper = get_relocated_path(DEFAULT_BRIDGE_HELPER);
