Description Markus Armbruster 2013-08-28 19:32:18 UTC

Device isa-parallel should be removed or made unavailable with -device / device_add, because we won't support it.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. -chardev null,id=par0 -device isa-parallel,chardev=par0

Actual results:
-device isa-parallel is accepted

Expected results:
-device isa-parallel is rejected, just like -device nonexistant

Additional info:
Disabling CONFIG_PARALLEL should do.

Comment 2 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-09-26 09:33:09 UTC

Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-7.el7

Verify this bug:
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-21.el7.x86_64
---
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ? 2>&1 |grep -i isa-parallel
---
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-parallel,?
qemu-kvm: -device isa-parallel,?: Parameter 'driver' expects device type
---
Base on above test, this bug has been verified.
