Commit 82576d8f35e used a string "on" to enable the 'pmem' property. This is okay for the command line visitor, but the property is declared as boolean in qemu and thus it will not work when using QMP. Modify the type to boolean. This changes the command line, but fortunately the command line visitor in qemu parses both 'yes' and 'on' as true for the property. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1854684 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; --- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 2 +- .../memory-hotplug-nvdimm-pmem.x86_64-latest.args | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 0c4c77cf8c..c32db06e34 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -3187,7 +3187,7 @@ qemuBuildMemoryBackendProps(virJSONValuePtr *backendProps, "with this QEMU binary")); return -1; } - if (virJSONValueObjectAdd(props, "s:pmem", "on", NULL) < 0) + if (virJSONValueObjectAdd(props, "b:pmem", true, NULL) < 0) return -1; } diff --git a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/memory-hotplug-nvdimm-pmem.x86_64-latest.args b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/memory-hotplug-nvdimm-pmem.x86_64-latest.args index 5dfba9b50a..00a78baa92 100644 --- a/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/memory-hotplug-nvdimm-pmem.x86_64-latest.args +++ b/tests/qemuxml2argvdata/memory-hotplug-nvdimm-pmem.x86_64-latest.args @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ file=/tmp/lib/domain--1-QEMUGuest1/master-key.aes \ -smp 2,sockets=2,dies=1,cores=1,threads=1 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1,mem=214 \ -object memory-backend-file,id=memnvdimm0,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/tmp/nvdimm,\ -share=no,size=536870912,pmem=on \ +share=no,size=536870912,pmem=yes \ -device nvdimm,node=0,memdev=memnvdimm0,id=nvdimm0,slot=0 \ -uuid c7a5fdbd-edaf-9455-926a-d65c16db1809 \ -display none \ -- 2.26.2
