I am trying to pass-through the parallel port of the host to the guest.

When I just used qemu-system-x86_64 with option '-chardev pty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0 -device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0', it worked perfect. 

But when I tried to pass these option by adding lines below to the domain xml,

...

</device>

<qemu:commandline>

  <qemu:args value='-chardev'/>

  <qemu:args value='pty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0'/>

  <qemu:args value='-device'/>

  <qemu:args value='isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0'/>

</qemu:commandline>

...

it failed and showed:

[root@localhost local]# virsh start test02

error: Failed to start domain test02

error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2019-03-27 02:28:12.507+0000: Domain id=32 is  tainted: custom-argv

2019-03-27T02:28:12.599326Z qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev parallel,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0: Could not  open '/dev/parport0': No such file or directory

I dont know why it showed a 'No such file or directory'. The /dev/parport0 is actually here. I have tried setting chmod 666 to /dev/parport0 and shutdown the selinux, but it always show the same thing.

Please give me some help, thanks.
