    conf: also mark the implicit video as primary
    
    Commit 119cd06 started setting the primary bool for the first
    user-specified video even if user omitted the 'primary' attribute.
    
    However this was done before the addition of the implicit device.
    This broke startup of transient qemu domains with no <video>:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325757
    
    Move this default to virDomainDefPostParseInternal,
    after the addition of the implicit video device, to catch the implicit
    video as well.

Comment 5 Fangge Jin 2016-06-29 09:53:49 UTC
I can reproduce this BZ on build libvirt-1.3.3-2.el7.x86_64.

Verify pass on build libvirt-1.3.5-1.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare a guest xml without video element.
# grep video rhel7.2.xml
(nothing output)

2. # virsh create rhel7.2.xml
Domain rhel7.2 created from rhel7.2.xml

3. Dump guest xml, video device is added automatically and marked as primary:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7.2
...
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
...

4. Re-test step 1~3 with the following guest xml:
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1'/>  ==> with video element and without specified primary
    </video>

5. Re-test step 1~3 with the following guest xml:
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/> ==> with video element and with specified primary
    </video>

6. Prepare a guest xml without video element.
# grep video rhel7.2.xml
(nothing output)

7. Define guest:
# virsh undefine rhel7.2
Domain rhel7.2 has been undefined

8. Check guest xml, video device is added automatically and marked as primary:
# virsh dumlxml rhel7.2
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>


9. Undefine guest rhel7.2 and Re-test step 6~8 with the following guest xml:
...
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1'/>  ==> with video element and without specified primary
    </video>
...

10. Undefine guest rhel7.2 and Re-test step 6~8 with the following guest xml:
...
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
    </video>
...

11. Guest rhel7.2 has been defined, delete video element by "virsh edit" and save:
# virsh edit rhel7.2
Domain rhel7.2 XML configuration edited.

12. Check guest xml, video device is added automatically and marked as primary:
# virsh dumlxml rhel7.2
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
