Description Anthony Messina 2013-01-27 03:58:00 UTC 
When defining a VM with an emulated smartcard as specified at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsSmartcard, the VM won't start and issues the following error:

2013-01-27 03:38:19.871+0000: shutting down

Using:
qemu-kvm-1.2.2-4.fc18.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2.2-3.fc18.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.4-4.fc18.noarch
kernel3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64

In http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=blob;f=hw/ccid-card-emulated.c;h=f4a6da4283a3a27eaff154be7ad6ca75dee900d5;hb=HEAD#l25 (for roughly the version I'm using) it states that the parameter "db" should be used.

I'm not sure whether this is the issue, but db != database.  http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=blob;f=hw/ccid-card-emulated.c;h=f4a6da4283a3a27eaff154be7ad6ca75dee900d5;hb=HEAD#l118

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for the report Anthony, indeed it looks like libvirt is passing the wrong property here, it should be named db. Reassigning
Comment 3 Eric Blake 2013-04-01 22:58:10 UTC 
You're probably one of the first people actively using this feature, since the bug has been there since it's introduction in v0.8.8 (Feb 2011).

Upstream patch proposal:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-April/msg00056.html

If that is accepted, I can backport to v0.10.2-maint for inclusion in the next F18 build.

Hah!  And I was probably trying to use it incorrectly as well.  I was hoping to use the "fake" smartcard as a storage utility for kernel module signing keys to be used in a manner similar to pesign, but for external kernel modules to be signed from within a koji/mock buildroot on a VM.
