Description of problem: USB Redirection no longer works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.2.8-4.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Easily. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a VM 2. Assign a host USB device (Add Hardware in virt-manager, not the spice redirection) 3. Run the VM, inspect logs Actual results: 2014-09-24 07:02:48.048+0000: starting up LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -name fedora21 -S -machine pc-i440fx-2.1,accel=kvm,usb=off -cpu Haswell -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid db064f7c-81cf-44b8-bf7e-d0085c8e37b9 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/fedora21.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet -no-reboot -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -boot strict=on -device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x5 -device ich9-usb-uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x1 -device ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora-unknown.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2 -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/home/lkundrak/Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21_Alpha-1.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=24,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:08:78:3d,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,seamless-migration=on -device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir0,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir0,id=redir0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir1,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir1,id=redir1 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir2,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir2,id=redir2 -chardev spicevmc,id=charredir3,name=usbredir -device usb-redir,chardev=charredir3,id=redir3 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -msg timestamp=on char device redirected to /dev/pts/2 (label charserial0) main_channel_link: add main channel client main_channel_handle_parsed: net test: latency 0.292000 ms, bitrate 17066666666 bps (16276.041666 Mbps) inputs_connect: inputs channel client create red_dispatcher_set_cursor_peer: main_channel_handle_parsed: agent start ehci warning: guest updated active QH libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/002/003: Permission denied libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/002/003: Permission denied libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/002/003: Permission denied libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.

I don't see any usb-host device on the command line. Is there a <hostdev> in the domain XML?
(In reply to Jan Tomko from comment #1) > I don't see any usb-host device on the command line. Is there a <hostdev> in > the domain XML? Yep, it is there. My guess was that libvirt attaches the device via usb_add in the qemu console prior to starting the guest cpu?
I can reproduce, it's a libvirt regression. I've pinpointed the issue, patch forthcoming
