Hi
When domHVM started by virsh create,
the information of USB setting is not saved by vish dumpxml.
The reason is that USB setting is defined by Xen itself, not virsh.
This patch enables USB device setting information handling
on virsh create/virsh dumpxml.

I've been wondering about how we'll represent USB devices in the
libvirt XML. The 'usbdevice' attribute in teh XenD SEXPR is just
a straight pass-through to QEMU's -usbdevice command line arg.
This arg can accept values of the form:
- 'mouse'
- 'tablet'
- 'disk:file' eg 'disk:/var/lib/xen/images/usbdrive.img'
- 'host:bus.addr' eg 'host:01.02' for BUS 01, device 02
- 'host:vendor:product' eg 'host:0324:01a4'
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC34
The patch you've got just puts all this into a single 'usbdevice'
attribute on a <usb> element. I see there is also a single empty
<usb> tag to identify whether the virtual USB bus is enabled at
all. So we have
<usb/>
<usb usbdevice='mouse'/>
<usb usbdevice='tablet/>
<usb usbdevice='disk:/var/lib/xen/images/usbdrive.img'/>
<usb usbdevice='host:01.02'/>
<usb usbdevice='host:0324:01a4'/>
I'm wondering if we'd be better offnormalizing the attributes somewhat.
<usb bus='1'/>
<usb hid='mouse'/> (hid is USB speak for Human Input Device)
<usb hid='tablet'/>
<usb disk='/var/lib/xen/images/usbdrive.img'/>
<usb bus='01' addr='02'/>
<usb vendor='0324' product='01a4'/>
Or alternatively, multiplex off a 'type' attribute
<usb type='bus'/>
<usb type='mouse'/>
<usb type='tablet'/>
<usb type='disk' path='/var/lib/xen/images/usbdrive.img'/>
<usb type='host' bus='01' addr='02'/>
<usb type='host' vendor='0324' product='01a4'>
What do people think ?

Dan.

What do people think ?
That I prefer we first discuss a bit more the format before applying such a
patch. I assume the usb description need to go in the <devices> block, right ?
I prefer the last version of the 3, you just check for a first attribute
and if found derive the processing code according to the value. It's IMHO
better than the second structurally speaking, and I really dislike the first
because it keeps the structure outside of XML which requires additional
parsing and makes things harder.
Now thinking out loud a bit, would <usb> need to be a structure, physically
it is structured around busses, do we need to reflect that, do we need
to make provision for this. Also in what respect is USB specific, I mean
<devices>
<disk path="..." />
</devices>
and
<devices>
<usb>
<disk path="..." />
</usb>
</devices>
Can we just share parsing or is the fact that a disk hooked on USB bus such
a real difference ?

Hi Daniel
I examined your suggestions, and corrected the patch as follows.
・ only (usb 1)
<usb>
<bus/>
</usb>
・ (usbdevice mouse)
<usb>
<mouse/>
</usb>
・ (usbdevice tablet)
<usb>
<tablet/>

・ (usbdevice disk:xxx)

・ (usbdevice host:xxx.yyy)
<usb>
<host bus='xxx' addr='yyy'/>
</usb>
・ (usbdevice host:xxx:yyy)
<usb>
<host vendor='xxx' product='yyy'/>
</usb>

bus such

I think that dividing usual disk and disk of USB is necessary.
Because USB enables a dynamic detaching of disk though usual disk
cannot do it by domHVM.

okay, fair enough.

Sorry you can't use strtok there, it's not reentrant, uses a global
variable and as a result multiple concurent threads accessing libvirt for
different connections may get their data randomly corrupted, this is a
big problem. I prefer parsing to be done explicitely computing indexes
from the string being parsed (and then you can use strndup() to generate
copies if needed).

the patch for xml.c looks good to me, but I would rather apply both at the

(I'm not too fond of strtok_r() either).

I'm not so sure about this to be honest. This is very verbose syntax and having
the empty <usb> wrapper around every element isn't adding all that much useful
info in relation to its verbosity.
I've been thinking about how the contents of the <devices> section relates to
the way Linux models devices in sysfs. Thus far we have 'interface',
'disk'
'console' and 'graphics'.
- The 'disk' element maps onto /sys/block or /sys/class/scsi_disk
- The 'interface' element maps onto /sys/class/net
- The 'graphics' element maps onto /sys/class/graphics
- The 'console' element maps onto /sys/class/misc
I tend to think of /sys/block as really being a class too (ie /sys/class/block).
With the way we've been thinking about USB in this thread so far though, we're
approaching a model that is much more like /sys/bus rather than /sys/class. ie
we're grouping everything under a bus type at the top level, rather than the
rest of the nodes which are grouped by class (function).
Listing again at what things we need to represent here:
- Input devices - mouse, tablet
- Disk devices
- Presence of USB or not (aka whether a bus is emulated)
- Pass through of devices from the host bus
Now consider a couple of non-USB related things we don't have representations
for yet
- VMWare mouse type
- Summa graphics tablet - a serial device tablet
- PS/2 mouse - implicitly represented if we don't ask for any other mouse
- PCI device pass through from host
- Serial ports
- Parallel ports
- Sound cards
Basically we end up with two sorts of things we need to represent:
- Emulation of particular classes of devices grouped by their function
- Pass through of real hardware, irrespective of function
Based on this observation I think we need to actually treat the Xen USB configs in
two different ways according to the above split.
So USB disks might look like
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/some/path.img'/>
<target dev='usb'/>
</disk>
NB, I'm using a generic 'usb' tag as the guest device name, since USB devices
are
fundamentally hotplug oriented it is very unsual to have persistent USB bus IDs
and thus you'll never have a persistent device node. Maybe its better to have a
separate named attribute instead of re-using the 'dev' attribute in
<target>:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/some/path.img'/>
<target bus='usb'/>
</disk>
Or a separate bus type ?
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/some/path.img'/>
<bus type='usb'/>
</disk>
Anyway, now onto input devices. It would seem like a reasonable idea to have a
top level '<input>' device element. So a generic USB mouse could be
<input type='usbmouse'/>
While a tablet would be
<input type='usbtablet'/>
Alternatively we could be explicit about the particular type of device / named
model being emulated, eg for the USB tablet:
<input type='evtouch'/>
The downside with the latter is that its probably different device name for
every different virt system. If we just kept a generic 'usbmouse' it would
represent 'whatever particular usb mouse the virt system supports'.
My final thought is that we could have 'typoe' be compulsory representing the
type of pointer. And then 'bus' and 'model' could be optional atttributes
to
give more specific info if needed, eg for tablets these are equivalent:
<input type='tablet'/>
<input bus='serial' type='tablet'/>
<input bus='serial' type='tablet'
model='summagraphics'/>
<input type='tablet' model='summagraphics'/>
And these are equivalent:
<input type='tablet' model='evtouch'/>
<input bus='usb' type='tablet'/>
<input bus='usb' type='tablet' model='evtouch'/>
When creating a domain, the caller could leave out 'bus' or 'model' if
they
don't care about specific details. When asking libvirt for an XML dump of
a running domain though, we'd fill in the most specific info we have.
Finally, for the mapping of host devices through to the guest. In this case we
probably do just want to group stuff under either a bus specific node, eg
<usb>
<host vendor='0234' model='2342'/>
<host vendor='1248' model='4228'/>
<host bus='03' device='02'/>
</usb>
<pci>
<host id='0000:00:1f.1'/>
</pci>
Or a generic bus node
<bus type='usb'>
<host vendor='0234' model='2342'/>
<host vendor='1248' model='4228'/>
<host bus='03' device='02'/>
</bus>
<bus type='pci'>
<host id='0000:00:1f.1'/>
</bus>

okay, fair enough.
That's not entirely accurate - we can already do dynamic hotplug add & remove
for <disk> devices on paravirt - that Xen cannot currently do it for fully
virt is really just an artifact of the particular implementation. If fact if
you use paravirt drivers for fully-virt / HVM you *can* do disk & network
hotplug.
This email was *significantly* longer than I thought it would be. I guess
that's good because it shows there's some non-trivial decisions we should
make before committing to a particular style of implementation. I want to
ask do a little research of the way USB / PCI devices are expressed with
VMWare config files, and with the XenAPI XML-RPC format in case there's
any useful stuff we can learn from the way they model devices.

Dan.

I've been thinking about how the contents of the <devices>
section relates to
the way Linux models devices in sysfs. Thus far we have 'interface',
'disk'
'console' and 'graphics'.
- The 'disk' element maps onto /sys/block or /sys/class/scsi_disk
- The 'interface' element maps onto /sys/class/net
- The 'graphics' element maps onto /sys/class/graphics
- The 'console' element maps onto /sys/class/misc

yes that look nicer in the long term

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/some/path.img'/>
<bus type='usb'/>
</disk>
I'm not sure this really adds much over <target dev='usb'/>, we can
still
add extra attributes if needed onto target in the usb case.
Anyway, now onto input devices. It would seem like a reasonable idea
to have a
top level '<input>' device element.
Yes, but when you mean top level you really mean as child of <devices>, I
see why an input would be any different, right ?
So a generic USB mouse could be
<input type='usbmouse'/>
While a tablet would be
<input type='usbtablet'/>
Alternatively we could be explicit about the particular type of device / named

Hi Masayuki,
I realized I forgot to answer to that patch. Let's not drop the issue !
The problem is that this new patch still seems to follow the old XML
of the initial patch while following Dan Berrange last post it looks
better to integrate the USB specific part in other logical blocs. I
don't think adding a version number is the right approach, it's better to
get the XML set up straight rather than put the burden on long term
maintainance and at the user level to decode the different ways to
express the same thing.
I also don't like strtok_r too much I admit but it's a separate issue :-)

Hi Masayuki,
I realized I forgot to answer to that patch. Let's not drop the issue !
The problem is that this new patch still seems to follow the old XML
of the initial patch while following Dan Berrange last post it looks
better to integrate the USB specific part in other logical blocs. I
don't think adding a version number is the right approach, it's better to
get the XML set up straight rather than put the burden on long term
maintainance and at the user level to decode the different ways to
express the same thing.
I also don't like strtok_r too much I admit but it's a separate issue :-)

Okay I may look into implementing those, in the next days, then
you should be able to check if it works as expected :-)
