Description Pei Zhang 2017-06-15 02:40:27 UTC
Description of problem:
libvirt should add extra hubs when cold/hot-pluging more USB devices 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-3.2.0-10.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-10.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Define a guest without USB disks.

# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 -     vm1                            shut off

# virsh domblklist vm1
Target     Source
------------------------------------------------
vda        /var/lib/libvirt/images/r74.qcow2

# virsh dumpxml vm1 | grep usb -A 3
......
    <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x7'/>
    </controller>
    <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'>
      <master startport='0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
    </controller>
    <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'>
      <master startport='2'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x1'/>
    </controller>
    <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'>
      <master startport='4'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x2'/>
    </controller>
--
    <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </redirdev>
    <redirdev bus='usb' type='spicevmc'>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='2'/>
    </redirdev>

2. Cold plug multiple USB disks 
# for i in {a..h}; do virsh attach-disk vm1 /var/lib/libvirt/images/usb/usb$i.img --targetbus usb sd$i --config; done 
Disk attached successfully

Disk attached successfully

Disk attached successfully

Disk attached successfully

error: Failed to attach disk
error: internal error: No free USB ports

error: Failed to attach disk
error: internal error: No free USB ports
......

3. Trying to hotplug multiple USB disks, also hit this issue. 

Actual results:
As step2, libvirt will not add extra hub when no free ports

Expected results:
Add enough hubs when cold/hot pluging more usb devices
