Description jiyan 2017-06-09 08:45:10 UTC
Description of problem:
Attempted double use of PCI Address for 'usb controller' and 'ide controller' shoud be dectected while saving the dumpxml file after editing, not starting the vm.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-3.2.0-9.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-679.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-9.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.1 Edit the vm's two usb controllers with same PCI address, then save and check the dumpxml: 
<controller type='usb' index='0' model='piix3-uhci'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</controller>
<controller type='usb' index='1' model='piix3-uhci'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</controller>

# virsh edit snapshot2-1
Domain snapshot2-1 XML configuration edited.

# virsh dumpxml snapshot2-1 | grep "piix3-uhci" -A 3
<controller type='usb' index='0' model='piix3-uhci'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</controller>
<controller type='usb' index='1' model='piix3-uhci'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</controller>

1.2 Try to start the vm
# virsh start snapshot2-1
Domain snapshot2-1 destroyed
error: Failed to start domain snapshot2-1
error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2017-06-09T07:16:52.824847Z qemu-kvm: -chardev pty,id=charserial0: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 (label charserial0)
2017-06-09T07:16:52.842881Z qemu-kvm: -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2: PCI: slot 1 function 2 not available for piix3-usb-uhci, in use by piix3-usb-uhci


2.1 Edit the vm's two pci controllers with same PCI address, then save and check the dumpxml: 
<controller type='ide' index='0'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/>
</controller>
<controller type='ide' index='1'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/>
</controller>

# virsh edit 1
Domain 1 XML configuration edited.

# virsh dumpxml 1 |grep "type='ide'" -C 2
    <controller type='ide' index='0'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/>
    </controller>
    <controller type='ide' index='1'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/>
    </controller>

2.2 Try to start the vm
# virsh start 1
error: Failed to start domain 1
error: unsupported configuration: Only a single IDE controller is supported for this machine type


Actual results:
As reproducing steps above 


Expected results:
Attempted double use of PCI Address for 'usb controller' and 'ide controller' shoud be dectected while saving the dumpxml file after editing,like the following.
# virsh edit 1
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</controller>
<controller type='usb' index='1' model='piix3-uhci'>
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/>
</controller>
error: XML error: Attempted double use of PCI Address 0000:00:05.0
Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]:

    qemu: reserve PCI addresses for implicit i440fx devices
    
    Somewhere around commit 9ff9d9f reserving entire PCI slots was
    eliminated, as demonstrated by commit 6cc2014.
    
    Reserve the functions required by the implicit devices:
    00:01.0 ISA Bridge
    00:01.1 IDE Controller
    00:01.2 USB Controller (unless USB is disabled)
    00:01.3 Bridge

Dumpxml file of vm when verifying this bug

Comment 6 jiyan 2017-11-06 05:26:51 UTC
Hi, Ján.
The verifying steps are as above, however, when checking IDE controller and USB controller, that seems not as expected, other controller can also using reserved address, could you help to check it again?

I have uploaded the dumpxml file of vm, if needed, thank~

Test env components:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-4.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-768.el7.x86_64
libvirt-3.9.0-1.el7.x86_64

Test scenarios:
1. Prepare a running vm named 'qcow2' without using "00:01.0,00:01.1,00:01.2,00:01.3" address
# virsh list --all |grep qcow2 
 -     qcow2                          shut off

# virsh dumpxml qcow2 |grep address |sort
...
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
      <mac address='52:54:00:c4:85:a2'/>
...


2. Edit vm as following, checking whether libvirt reserves the functions required by ISA bridge (00:01.0)
# virsh edit qcow2
...
    <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/>
    </controller>
...
error: XML error: Attempted double use of PCI Address 0000:00:01.0
Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]:


3. Edit vm as following, checking whether libvirt reserves the functions required by Bridge (00:01.3)

    </controller>
...

5. Checking whether libvirt reserves the functions required by USB Controller (00:01.2)
5.1 When USB is enabled, edit vm as following, checking whether libvirt reserves the functions required by USB Controller (00:01.2)
# virsh edit qcow2
...
    <controller type='usb' index='0' model='nec-xhci'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>

    </controller>


5.2 When USB is disabled
# virsh edit qcow2

Comment 7 Ján Tomko 2017-12-04 12:19:46 UTC
My patches only reserve the address for the controller if it's present in the domain definition, but unlike other implicit controllers we only add it to the XML if there is an IDE drive present.

Always adding the IDE controller if it's present in the machine seems like the cleanest solution, but maybe there are backwards-compatibility reasons why we don't do that already.
