This release adds USB qemu-xhci controller support to SPICE consoles, for Q35 chipset support. Red Hat Virtualization now expects that when a BIOS type using the Q35 chipset is chosen, and USB is enabled, that the USB controller will be qemu-xhci.

need to look into SPICE USB sharing controllers. We still use EHCI+3xUHCI I reviewed this issue and it seems it was already implemented. To set the usb controller for Q35 to be qemu-xhci, please perform the following: 1. On a Version 4.3 Compatible Cluster edit or create a new VM with appropriate settings. 2. Select the System tab and Choose Advanced parameters. 3. Choose a Bios Type of Q35 and save. 4. Click on the VM and and choose the VM Devices tab. 5. The usb device's Spec Params column should have model=qemu-xhci 6. Run the VM 7. In the engine.log one should find the following line within the xml section: <controller type="usb" model="qemu-xhci" index="0"/> Further testing by QE is recommended. please address comment #1 ok,as per https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2018/08/qemu-usb-tips/ this xml "<controller type='usb' model='qemu-xhci' ports='8'/>" should be what we want for SPICE on q35 Also flagging as a blocker since we need to stabilize guest ABI before 4.3 GA Verified: ovirt-engine-4.3.0-0.8.master.20190122102235.git7a1ef10.el7 qemu-kvm-ev-2.12.0-18.el7_6.1.1.x86_64 vdsm-4.30.6-19.git754a02d.el7.x86_64 libvirt-client-4.5.0-10.el7_6.3.x86_64 Verification scenario: Polarion test case added to external trackers. Does the user need to know how to do anything? If I understand correctly, the qemu-xhci (USB3 controller with built-in support for USB2 and USB1.1) is now the default USB controller. nothing special about it, it's just that now it's going to be a USB3 controller instead of bunch of USB1 and USB2 Note it's for Q35 only. The default for most users stays the same *** Bug 1689415 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
