Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 5/6] qemu: Allow multiple bridges when pci-bridges is not available
On 02/21/2017 02:57 PM, Andrea Bolognani wrote:
qemuDomainAssignPCIAddresses() hardcoded the assumption
that the only way to support devices on a non-zero bus is
to add one or more pci-bridges; however, since we now
support a large selection of PCI controllers that can be
used instead, the assumption is no longer true.
Moreover, this check was always redundant, because the
only sensible time to check for the availability of
pci-bridge is when building the QEMU command line, and
such a check is of course already in place.
In fact, there were *two* such checks, but since one of
the two was relying on the incorrect assumption explained
above, and it was redundant anyway, it has been dropped.

I go past this check every couple months and each time I think "that is
wrong. I should fix it.", but then forget by the time I'm done with
whatever else I was doing.
But beyond that, it seems like we should be able to remove the "if
(nbuses > 0)" too - if nbuses is 0, that means there is no root bus to
put any additional buses on, and *that* means that if there is any
device requiring a PCI address, it's going to cause a failure while
trying to assign addresses whether it's the "trial pass" (checking if we
need to add more controllers) or the "real pass" (that actually assigns
the addresses that will be used) - we could just as easily fail during
the trial pass.
That's immaterial to your change though. ACK on what you've got here
(and if you want to see what happens when you remove the rest of the
conditional, that would be good too).
