[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] usb devices with same vendor, productID hotplug support
by Guannan Ren 01 May '12

01 May '12

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815755 The set of patch tries to fix the issue when multiple usb devices with same idVendor, idProduct are availible on host, the usb device with lowest bus:device will be attached to guest if usb xml file is given like this: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x15e1'/> <product id='0x2007'/> </source> </hostdev> The reason is that the usb hotplug function searchs usb device in system files to match vendor and product id, the file with lowest number is always found first. After fix, in this case, libvirt will report an error like: At the same time, the usb part of domain initilization is also update in patch 2/3 # virsh attach-device rhel6u1 /tmp/usb.xml error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/usb.xml error: XML error: multiple USB deivces 15e1:2007, use <address> to specify one.
