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.

Description Fangge Jin 2016-09-27 08:22:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
Virtio input devices are introduced since RHEL7.3

qemu-kvm-rhev supports hotplugging virtio input devices, libvirt should support this too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-26.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Prepare a running guest:
# virsh start rhel7

2.Prepare a file as below, take virtio mouse as example:
# cat /tmp/input.xml 
    <input type='mouse' bus='virtio'/>

3.Hotplug input device to guest:
# virsh attach-device rhel7 /tmp/input.xml
error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/input.xml
error: Operation not supported: live attach of device 'input' is not supported

Coldplugging is not supported too:
# virsh attach-device rhel7 /tmp/input.xml --config
error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/input.xml
error: Operation not supported: persistent attach of device 'input' is not supported
Comment 1 Fangge Jin 2016-09-27 08:24:09 UTC 
Hotplug/hotunplug virtio input devices by qemu monitor command:
1) add/delete a virtio mouse
# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_add","arguments":{"driver":"virtio-mouse-pci","id":"input1","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0xa"}}'
{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-19"}

check the current mouse
# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 --hmp info mice
  Mouse #2: QEMU PS/2 Mouse
* Mouse #3: QEMU Virtio Mouse

delete the virtio mouse
# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_del","arguments":{"id":"input1"}}'{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-22"}

check the current mouse again
# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 --hmp info mice
* Mouse #2: QEMU PS/2 Mouse

2) add/delete a virtio keyboard
# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_add","arguments":{"driver":"virtio-keyboard-pci","id":"input1","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0xa"}}'
{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-25"}

# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_del","arguments":{"id":"input1"}}'
{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-26"}

3) add/delete a virtio tablet
# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_add","arguments":{"driver":"virtio-tablet-pci","id":"input1","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0xa"}}'
{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-27"}

# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_del","arguments":{"id":"input1"}}'{"return":{},"id":"libvirt-28"}

4) add/delete a host input device to/from guest(but I run into permission issue)
# chown qemu:qemu /dev/input/event3
# chcon system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0 /dev/input/event3

# virsh qemu-monitor-command rhel7 '{"execute":"device_add","arguments":{"driver":"virtio-input-host-pci","id":"input2","evdev":"/dev/input/event3","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0xb"}}'
{"id":"libvirt-23","error":{"class":"GenericError","desc":"Could not open '/dev/input/event3': Operation not permitted"}}

Comment 5 Han Han 2017-11-08 07:50:46 UTC 
Test hot-plug/hot-unplug on input devices on libvirt-3.9.0-1.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-4.el7.x86_64
Since virtio-input-passthrough device is not supported now. Test keyboard/mouse/tablet device on usb or virtio bus.
1. Prepare devices xml:
/tmp/usb-keyboard.xml:
<input type='keyboard' bus='usb'/>

/tmp/usb-mouse.xml:
<input type='mouse' bus='usb'/>

/tmp/usb-tablet.xml:
<input type='tablet' bus='usb'/>

/tmp/virtio-keyboard.xml:
<input type='keyboard' bus='virtio'/>

/tmp/virtio-mouse.xml:
<input type='mouse' bus='virtio'/>

/tmp/virtio-tablet.xml:
<input type='tablet' bus='virtio'/>

2. hot-plug/hot-unplug on input devices
# virsh list      
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 4     V                              running

```
#!/bin/bash
for i in /tmp/virtio-*.xml;do
    virsh attach-device V $i
done
for i in /tmp/usb-*.xml;do
    virsh attach-device V $i
done

for i in /tmp/virtio-*.xml;do
    virsh detach-device V $i
done
for i in /tmp/usb-*.xml;do
    virsh detach-device V $i
done
```

hot-plug/hot-unplug works well.
