Description jingzhao 2015-12-25 05:30:29 UTC
Description of problem:
keyboard didn't work after deleted keyboard device in qemu interface

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel version:2.6.32-592.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.481.el6.x86_64
guest: win10-64

How reproducible:
3/3

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot vm with following cli:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-name rhel6 \
-machine rhel6.6.0,accel=kvm \
-realtime mlock=off \
-cpu SandyBridge \
-m 6G   \
-smp 4,cores=2,threads=1,sockets=2  \
-uuid 49a3438a-70a3-4ba8-92ce-3a05e0934608 \
-nodefaults \
-rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew \
-monitor unix:/tmp/monitor-unix,server,nowait \
-global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 \
-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 \
-boot order=c,menu=on,strict=on \
-readconfig ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg \
-drive file=/home/usb/win10usb.img,if=none,id=ide,media=disk,cache=none,format=raw \
-device ide-drive,drive=ide,id=ide0,bootindex=0 \
-cdrom /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win.iso \
-netdev tap,id=hostnet1  \
-device e1000,netdev=hostnet1,id=virtio-net-pci1,mac=b6:2f:a8:85:72:6c,bus=pci.0,multifunction=off \
-monitor stdio \
-qmp tcp:0:4466,server,nowait -serial unix:/tmp/ttym,server,nowait \
-vga qxl \
-spice port=5910,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing,seamless-migration=on \
-k en-us \


2.used passwd and entered into the win10 system and no output through "info usb" command 

3. add keyboard device and also can enter into the system through passwd

(qemu) device_add usb-kbd,id=kbd1
(qemu) info usb
  Device 0.1, Port 1, Speed 12 Mb/s, Product QEMU USB Keyboard

4. then deleted the keyboard device
(qemu) device_del kbd1

Actual results:
Didn't enter into the system through password and also didn't enter into the system after reboot the system.

Expected results:
We can enter into the system correctly after deleted the keyboard device

--I marked as high serverity because the keyboard didn't work and will impact the customer

Only when plugging and un-plugging the usb keyboard.
What is the use case for doing this?

> and will
> impact the customer

Any actual customer reports?

---Didn't for special use, just do hot-plug operations.

Why would a customer hotplug a usb keyboard,
given that there is a ps/2 keyboard anyway?

I still fail to see how this affects customers in practice
and why it is important to backport the fix to RHEL-6 ...

corner case, fixed in rhel7/upstream, will hardly hit customers in practice.
