Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] virQEMUCapsHasPCIMultiBus: assume true if we have no version information

In status XML, we do not store the QEMU version information, we only format all the capabilities. We dropped QEMU_CAPS_PCI_MULTIBUS in commit 5b783379 which was released in libvirt 3.2.0. Therefore the only way of telling if the already running domain at the time of daemon restart has been started with a QEMU that does use 'pci.0' or not on PPC is to look at the pci-root controller's alias. This is not an option if the domain has a user-specified alias for the pci-root. Instead of reintroducing the capability, assume 'pci.0' when we have no version information. That way the only left broken use case would be the combination of user aliases and very old QEMU. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1518148 --- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 16 ++++++++-------- src/qemu/qemu_capspriv.h | 4 ---- tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 5 ----- 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c b/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c index c9d0a66d8..7b52d1a71 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c @@ -2436,6 +2436,14 @@ bool virQEMUCapsHasPCIMultiBus(virQEMUCapsPtr qemuCaps, * ppce500: 1.6.0 */ + /* We do not store the qemu version in domain status XML. + * Hope the user is using a QEMU new enough to use 'pci.0', + * otherwise the results of this function will be wrong + * for domains already running at the time of daemon + * restart */ + if (qemuCaps->version == 0) + return true; +
