Fixed In Version: libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
It is now possible to specify the virtio data buffer limit between a guest and the QEMU emulator. To do this, change the value of the <driver rx_queue_size='N'/> parameter in the guest's domain XML file, where N can be from 256 to 1024.

# rpm -q libvirt qemu-kvm-rhev spice-server

1. negative test, define the rx_queue_size to some negative ones, PASS.

2. migration test, migrate during the guest is copying a big file with rx_queue_size defined(libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6.x86_64<->libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6.x86_64), then migrate back, PASS;

3. hotplug,PASS


1. negative test
1)try -2, sdf
# virsh edit rhel7.2
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng

Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]: 
2) try 111

Domain rhel7.2 XML configuration edited.
# virsh start rhel7.2
error: Failed to start domain rhel7.2

3) try 128, 2048,
# virsh edit rhel7.2

4) try 256, 512, 1024, 
the guest can start, check the qemu command line and check on guest by "ethtool -g", all the results is as expected.

2. migration test, migrate during copy a file into the guest.
1) migrate libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6.x86_64<->libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6.x86_64, set the rx_queue_size as 1024/512/256.
on another host, copy file to the guest. During copy file, do the migration. After migration, check the file's checksum keep unchanged. 
# scp /home/yalzhang/Downloads/iso/win7.iso  10.66.4.218:/home 
# virsh migrate s1 --live qemu+ssh://server/system --verbose
root@server's password:
Migration: [100%]

Then migrate back.

2) migrate libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.6.x86_64<->libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7.x86_64 (rhel7.3), PASS.

3. # cat inter

      <source network='default'/>
