There are two levels on which a device may be hotplugged: config and live. The config level requires just an insert or remove from internal domain definition structure, which is exactly what this patch does. There is currently no implementation for a chardev update action, as there's not much to be updated. But more importantly, the only thing that can be updated is path or socket address by which chardevs are distinguished. So the update action is currently not supported.
Will this help address https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982304
Maybe I should move or clone that to Fedora instead of RHEL?
For a very specific case of hotplugging character devices - yes. For general devices which can't be hotplugged yet - no. This patch(set) in fact just sizes up the set of devices that can be hotplugged. Michal
