RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: usbredir-0.5.1-2.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, USB redirection over plain Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets with the usbredir packages installed did not work. The USB was not properly redirected in this situation, even though USB redirection over Spice channels worked as expected. This update fixes a bug in the usbredir protocol parser that was causing this problem. As a result, USB redirection over plain TCP sockets now works as expected.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1005015 +++

Description of problem:
Can't redirect tcp type USB device

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa libvirt virt-manager usbredir
usbredir-0.6-3.el7.x86_64
virt-manager-0.10.0-3.el7.noarch
libvirt-1.1.1-3.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug in a usb device on host with usbredir packages installed.
# lsusb
Bus 006 Device 003: ID 15e1:2007 RSA RSA SecurID (R) Authenticator
# usbredirserver -p 4000 15e1:2007

2. Configure the guest with Redirected USB Device in virt-manager, 
Add Hardware-> USB Redirection-> type: tcp, Address:&IP_of_HostA.4000
andUSB Controller, Type: USB, Model: USB2.

3. On host A 
# usbredirserver -p 4000 15e1:2007
usbredirparser: Peer version: qemu usb-redir guest 1.5.2, using 64-bits ids

4. Check the usb device in rhel guest with lsusb.
# ps -aux | grep qemu
qemu      2731 29.2  8.2 1676076 647532 ?      Sl   18:52   1:23 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name T2 ... -chardev socket,id=charredir0,host=10.66.7.144,port=4000 -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir0,id=redir0

  Check the usb device in Windows guest in my computer. 
#ps -aux | grep qemu
  qemu      5056 33.2 13.7 1513628 1077500 ?     Sl   19:26   0:31 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name xp -S -machine ... -chardev socket,id=charredir0,host=10.66.7.144,port=4000 -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir0,id=redir0 

Actual results:
Steps4,  The USB device is not redirected into the rhel guest and can get the usb info by lsusb. 
         The USB device is not shown in my computer of the windows guest. But from the qemu line I can see the info.

Expected results:
Steps4,  The USB device is redirected into the guest and the usb device is available to use.

Comment 2 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-12-15 12:32:25 UTC 
I guess we can safely cherry-pick the fix in rhel6? moving to POST

Yes cherry-picking the patch should work fine.
Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2015-03-02 10:39:38 UTC 
This is fixed in usbredir-0.5.1-2.el6, moving to MODIFIED.
Comment 6 Bill Sanford 2015-03-26 13:48:31 UTC 
Verified with RHEL-6.7-20150304.0 and usbredir-server-0.5.1-2.el6.x86_64
