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.

What guest is this?  You don't mention it in the original comment, but looking at the command line the disk image name suggests it is windows not linux ...

In case it is windows:  What happens if you remove mouse and tablet?  Does the usb keyboard start working correctly then?

-- sorry for the mistake, I will tried it with your scenario on linux and windows guest and reply later.

Gerd, I tried with your scenario and there have no effect and usb-keyboard didn't used when we removed mouse and tablet. But, usb keyboard can work correctly after re-add the usb-kbd device. 

Thanks

Comment 8 Gerd Hoffmann 2016-01-19 12:17:27 UTC
Ok, then it is probably the serial number clash issue.

Workaround: use "-device usb-kbd,serial=1234", and use a different serial for each hid device.

Can you confirm this works for you?

Gerd
  1. first the device didn't support serial parameter, checked it and it supported "create_unique_serial", so I used the "create_unique_serial" parameter
[root@localhost rng]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device usb-kbd,?
usb-kbd.migrate=uint32
usb-kbd.port=string
usb-kbd.create_unique_serial=uint32
usb-kbd.msos-desc=on/off
  2. I used the parameter "create_unique_serial" and also can reproduce the issue, and we must deleted the kbd device and re-add it, we can use the keyboard corretly.

Oops.  Can you try RHEL-7 then?

Gerd, reproduced on RHEL-7 on kernel-3.10.0-327.5.1.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.5.x86_64, tried with the same senario and keyboard can work correctly after re-add the usb-keyboard device.

What happens when you assign unique serial numbers to the devices (see comment 8) on RHEL-7?  Things are working then?

usb-keyboard also didn't work after assign unique serial numbers to the devices, after then, you should re-add the keyboard device and then keyboard can working correctly, following is the reproduced steps

1. boot guest with following cli:

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
-name pc \
-machine pc,accel=kvm \
-realtime mlock=off \
-cpu SandyBridge \
-m 6G   \

-vga qxl \
-spice port=5911,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing,seamless-migration=on \
-k en-us \

2. Used the keyboard device after the guest booted up
3. "usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full" and keyboard device didn't work
4. "device_del kbd1" and "device_add usb-kbd,serial=1111,id=kbd1"
5.  keyboard working correctly

Hmm, strange.  Can you re-try with a fresh windows image?

Windows stores all kinds of stuff about usb devices it has seen in the registry, possibly that fools us here.

--Also reproduced with a fresh windows image.  I tried it with the reproduced steps on rhel guest, and really didn't reproduced this issue (tried 10 times and didn't hit).
