Right.
I meant it could return an error is the connection is already
established. Else, the caller might think the feature has been
successfully enabled/disabled, whereas it is not the case.
But this is maybe over-engineering to handle this case.

Ok, but what about vhost lib users and TSO (I'm thinking of OVS).

I agree with you that would be ideal, but unlikely to happen soon.

Oops, I missed that!
