[libvirt] [PATCH v6 09/17] [ACKED] qemu: only force an available legacy-PCI slot on domains with pci-root

Andrea had the right idea when he disabled the "reserve an extra unused slot" bit for aarch64/virt. For *any* PCI Express-based machine, it is pointless since 1) an extra legacy-PCI slot can't be used for hotplug, since hotplug into legacy PCI slots doesn't work on PCI Express machinetypes, and 2) even for "coldplug" expansion, everybody will want to expand using Express controllers, not legacy PCI. This patch eliminates the extra slot reserve unless the system has a pci-root (i.e. legacy PCI) --- src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c b/src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c index 94f9534..81c7bce 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c @@ -1807,8 +1807,6 @@ qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses(virDomainDefPtr def, */ virDomainDeviceInfo info; - info.pciConnectFlags = VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_PCI_DEVICE; - /* 1st pass to figure out how many PCI bridges we need */ if (!(addrs = qemuDomainPCIAddressSetCreate(def, nbuses, true))) goto cleanup; @@ -1817,23 +1815,35 @@ qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses(virDomainDefPtr def, addrs) < 0) goto cleanup; - for (i = 0; i < addrs->nbuses; i++) { - if (!qemuDomainPCIBusFullyReserved(&addrs->buses[i])) - buses_reserved = false; - } - - /* Reserve 1 extra slot for a (potential) bridge only if buses - * are not fully reserved yet. + /* For domains that have pci-root, reserve 1 extra slot for a + * (potential) bridge (for future expansion) only if buses are + * not fully reserved yet (if all buses are fully reserved + * with manually/previously assigned addresses, any attempt to + * reserve an extra slot would fail anyway.
