Description Luyao Huang 2014-12-10 10:04:48 UTC 
description of problem:
libvirt should forbid add a address for guestfwd type channel

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.8-10.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1.prepare a guest have guestfwd type channel and have a address
# virsh dumpxml r6
...
    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/r6.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>
    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/guestfwd'/>
      <target type='guestfwd' address='0.0.0.0' port='4600'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>
...      
2. start the guest
# virsh start r6
Domain r6 started

3.check qemu cmd line there is no settings for the address:

# ps aux|grep qemu
-chardev socket,id=charchannel1,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/guestfwd,server,nowait -netdev user,guestfwd=tcp:0.0.0.0:4600-chardev:charchannel1,id=user-channel1

4.and use dumpxml found the address still in XML:
    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/r6.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/>
      <alias name='channel0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>
    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/nfs2/guestfwd'/>
      <target type='guestfwd' address='0.0.0.0' port='4600'/>
      <alias name='channel1'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>

Actual results:
address in guestfwd is useless and won't build a cmd line for it, we should forbid it.
      
Expected results:
Cannot add a address for guestfwd type channel

Additional info:

Also found we can add any address to this place:

      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>

      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>

Thanks Martin's patch:

    conf: Ignore device address for guestfwd channel
Comment 3 Hu Jianwei 2015-05-07 07:36:04 UTC 
Verified as below:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q libvirt qemu-kvm-rhev
libvirt-1.2.15-1.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-1.el7.x86_64

Add below lines to domain:

    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/guestfwd'/>
      <target type='guestfwd' address='0.0.0.0' port='4600'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>

After "virsh edit"
