The list should be the devices that support MSI-X and have realized the
hotplug in qemu,
we support the hotplug for them in the libvirt. So the list will be
updated to:
virtio-blk-pci
virtio-net-pci
virtio-input-host-pci
virtio-keyboard-pci
virtio-mouse-pci
virtio-tablet-pci
vfio-pci
SCSIVhost device
Ok, that makes sense.
I also checked that libvirt only allows setting the vectors property
for virtio-serial and shmem (vectors == 0 turns msi-x off), so that
should be fine.
As the model of Shmem is not support in qemu, the rng device doesn't
support MSI-X. So remove them.
So, should qemu add support for msi-x with virtio-rng-pci in the
future, we'd want to update libvirt as well, correct?
In addition, the bug found need to be fixed for the hotplug of tablet,
in the virDomainDeviceIsUSB()
if ((t == VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_DISK &&
dev->data.disk->bus == VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_BUS_USB) ||
(t == VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_INPUT &&
dev->data.input->type == VIR_DOMAIN_INPUT_BUS_USB) ||
---------->dev->data.input->bus == VIR_DOMAIN_INPUT_BUS_USB
(t == VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_HOSTDEV &&
I will send the fix if this bug is agreed.
