changelog:
v6: incorporated Jan's suggestions.
v5: incorporated suggestions from Laine for patches #2 and #3. The qemu command line
is now added in a new function and called from
qemuBuildControllersByTypeCommandLine().
Output xmls are now symlinked to input xmls for unit tests.
v4: split the original patchset into a pci-root controller specific patch series.
also the libvirt conf is now a sub-element of the pci-root controller as was
suggested by Dan Berrange. Please see discussion here:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-September/msg00839.html
v3: reorganized the patches as per Laine's suggestion. Added more
details in commit messages. Added conf description in formatdomain.rst.
Added changelog for next release.
v2: fixed bugs and added additional missing unit tests.
v1: initial implementation. Had some bugs and missed some unit tests
This patchset introduces libvirt xml support to enable/disable hotplug on the
pci-root controller. It adds a 'target' subelement for the pci-root controller
with a 'hotplug' property. This property can be used to enable or disable
hotplug for the pci-root controller. For example, in order to disable hotplug
on the pci-root controller, one has to use set '<target
hotplug='off'>' as
shown below:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-root'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
'<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root
controller.
This is also the default value. This option is only available for pc machine
types and is applicable for qemu only/kvm accelerator onlt.This feature was
introduced from qemu version 5.2 with the following change in qemu repository:
3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root
bus")
The above qemu commit describes some reasons why users might to disable hotplug
on PCI root buses [1].
The corresponding commandline option to qemu for x86 guests is:
-global PIIX4_PM.acpi-root-pci-hotplug=<off/on>
Notes:
1. The use case scenario described by Laine in
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-February/msg00110.html
intentionally does not discuss i440fx and focusses solely on q35. I do realize
that redhat has moved on from i440fx and currently efforts for new features
are concentrated on q35 machines only. We have had some hard debates on this
on the qemu mailing list before. The fact of the matter is that i440fx is
not at 1-1 parity with q35. There are many users who are currenly using i440fx
and are simply not ready to move to q35 without sacrificing some
existing features they support today. For example
https://wiki.qemu.org/images/4/4e/Q35.pdf lists some of q35 limitations.
https://www.linux-kvm.org/images/0/06/2012-forum-Q35.pdf provides more
information on the differences. Hence we need to solve the issue Laine has
described in the above email for i440fx without adding additional bridges.
Further, in Daniel Berrange's words from :
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-04/msg03012.html
"From the upstream POV, there's been no decision / agreement to phase
out PIIX, this is purely a RHEL downstream decision & plan. If other
distros / users have a different POV, and find the feature useful, we
should accept the patch if it meets the normal QEMU patch requirements.
"
Also to be noted that I have already experimented this qemu commandline option
using libvirt passthrough feature as has been documented in
http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/04/how-to-pass-qemu-command-line-options.html
This was only meant to be a short term solution until libvirt started
supporting this natively. Supporting this option through libvirt would simplify
their use case as well as add capability validations
and graceful failure scenarios in case qemu did not support the option.

New subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] qemu: capablities: detect presence of acpi-root-pci-hotplug for i440fx machines
The following change in qemu added support for a global boolean flag specific
to i440fx machines that would turn off or on acpi based hotplug for pci root
bus:
3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root
bus")
The option is passed as "-global PIIX4_PM.acpi-root-pci-hotplug=on" etc in qemu
commandline. It is enabled by default. This patch adds the corresponding qemu
capabilities in libvirt as QEMU_CAPS_PIIX_ACPI_ROOT_PCI_HOTPLUG.
Please note that the test specific qemu capabilities .replies files has already
been updated as a part of regular refreshing them when a new qemu version is
released. Hence, no updates to those files are required.

New subject: [PATCH v6 3/4] qemu: command: add support to enable/disable hotplug on pci-root controller
This change adds qemu backend command line support for enabling or disabling
hotplug on the pci-root controller using the 'target' sub-element of the
pci-root controller as shown below:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-root'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
'<target hotplug='off/on'/>' is only valid for pc (x86) machines and
turns on
the following command line option that is passed to qemu for x86 guests:
-global PIIX4_PM.acpi-root-pci-hotplug=<off/on>
This change also adds the required qemuxml2argv unit tests in order to test
correct qemu arguments. Unit tests have also been added to test qemu capability
validation checks.

New subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] NEWS: release note the new hotplug enable/disable option on pci-root controller
A new 'target' subelement of the pci-root controller has been introduced having
a 'hotplug' property. This proprty can be used to turn off or turn on hotplug
capability of the devices plugged into the pci-root ports. This change release
notes this feature for the next release.
The new element can be used like this:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-root'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
This will turn off hotplug capability on the pci-root ports. To turn the
capability on, we set hotplug='on' above (which is also the default).

changelog:
v6: incorporated Jan's suggestions.
v5: incorporated suggestions from Laine for patches #2 and #3. The qemu command line
is now added in a new function and called from
qemuBuildControllersByTypeCommandLine().
Output xmls are now symlinked to input xmls for unit tests.
v4: split the original patchset into a pci-root controller specific patch series.
also the libvirt conf is now a sub-element of the pci-root controller as was
suggested by Dan Berrange. Please see discussion here:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-September/msg00839.html
v3: reorganized the patches as per Laine's suggestion. Added more
details in commit messages. Added conf description in formatdomain.rst.
Added changelog for next release.
v2: fixed bugs and added additional missing unit tests.
v1: initial implementation. Had some bugs and missed some unit tests
This patchset introduces libvirt xml support to enable/disable hotplug on the
pci-root controller. It adds a 'target' subelement for the pci-root controller
with a 'hotplug' property. This property can be used to enable or disable
hotplug for the pci-root controller. For example, in order to disable hotplug
on the pci-root controller, one has to use set '<target
hotplug='off'>' as
shown below:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-root'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
'<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root
controller.
This is also the default value. This option is only available for pc machine
types and is applicable for qemu only/kvm accelerator onlt.This feature was
introduced from qemu version 5.2 with the following change in qemu repository:
3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root
bus")
The above qemu commit describes some reasons why users might to disable hotplug
on PCI root buses [1].
The corresponding commandline option to qemu for x86 guests is:
-global PIIX4_PM.acpi-root-pci-hotplug=<off/on>
Notes:
1. The use case scenario described by Laine in
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-February/msg00110.html
intentionally does not discuss i440fx and focusses solely on q35. I do realize
that redhat has moved on from i440fx and currently efforts for new features
are concentrated on q35 machines only. We have had some hard debates on this
on the qemu mailing list before. The fact of the matter is that i440fx is
not at 1-1 parity with q35. There are many users who are currenly using i440fx
and are simply not ready to move to q35 without sacrificing some
existing features they support today. For example
https://wiki.qemu.org/images/4/4e/Q35.pdf lists some of q35 limitations.
https://www.linux-kvm.org/images/0/06/2012-forum-Q35.pdf provides more
information on the differences. Hence we need to solve the issue Laine has
described in the above email for i440fx without adding additional bridges.
Further, in Daniel Berrange's words from :
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-04/msg03012.html
"From the upstream POV, there's been no decision / agreement to phase
out PIIX, this is purely a RHEL downstream decision & plan. If other
distros / users have a different POV, and find the feature useful, we
should accept the patch if it meets the normal QEMU patch requirements.
"
Also to be noted that I have already experimented this qemu commandline option
using libvirt passthrough feature as has been documented in
http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/04/how-to-pass-qemu-command-line-options.html
This was only meant to be a short term solution until libvirt started
supporting this natively. Supporting this option through libvirt would simplify
their use case as well as add capability validations
and graceful failure scenarios in case qemu did not support the option.
