Hi
As requested by Dave, I send this to the list.
I came across a bug that the command line generated for passtrough of the host parallel
port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.
It currently produces:
-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
-device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0
The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".
If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.
I have already filled a bug report ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ),
the topic was already on the list some months ago:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2011-September/msg00095.html
Not sure if this is fix is very clean, but for my case it works.
Perhaps it should also be checked if similar problems / patches are required for other
chardev backends.
Kind regards
Beat

Unfortunately, your patch came through with severe whitespace mangling.
Thankfully, it was small enough, so I reconstructed it by hand.

Path-based parsing is wrong. But we _do_ know whether the user is
creating a <parallel> or <serial> device based on the alias name, so we
should key off of that instead.

Style - libvirt prefers '} else {' on one line.
+ virBufferAsprintf(&buf, "tty,id=char%s,path=%s", alias,
+ dev->data.file.path);
Rather than duplicating the entire virBufferAsprintf, you can use an
extra %s and the ?: operator to condense to one line.
It would also be nice to enhance the testsuite to cover this.
With that, I think this patch should have the same effect, but a bit
cleaner. I'll go ahead and push it in your name; I updated AUTHORS in
the process, so let me know if I need to adjust the spelling at all.
