Fixed In Version: libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.4
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, user aliases for PTY devices that were longer than 32 characters were not supported. Consequently, if a domain included a PTY device with a user alias longer than 32 characters, the domain would not start. With this update, a static buffer was replaced with a dynamic buffer. As a result, the domain starts even if the length of the user alias for a PTY device is longer than 32 characters.

Test on libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.4.x86_64, the serial and console, channel device can use uuid as alias. vm start successfully and hotplug works well, set this bug to be verified.

1. prepare an inactive vm, and modify the xml to add uuid as alias for serial pty device, save and start the vm
# virsh start rhel
Domain rhel started

# virsh dumpxml rhel | grep /console -B11
    <serial type='pty'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/1'/>
      <target type='isa-serial' port='0'>
        <model name='isa-serial'/>
      </target>
      <alias name='ua-c60aba6e-b6d8-448b-ab6e-8c7b5c29f353'/>
    </serial>
    <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/1'/>
      <target type='serial' port='0'/>
      <alias name='ua-c60aba6e-b6d8-448b-ab6e-8c7b5c29f353'/>
    </console>

2. start vm with uuid alias for channel device and virtio console device, guest can start successfully
# virsh start rhel
Domain rhel started

# virsh dumpxml rhel
...
<console type='pty'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/2'/>
      <target type='virtio' port='1'/>
      <alias name='ua-c60aba6e-b6d8-448b-ab6e-8c7b5c29f358'/>
    </console>
    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-15-rhel/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='connected'/>
      <alias name='ua-c60aba6e-b6d8-448b-ab6e-8c7b5c29f359'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>
...

3. do save and restore successfully and xml no change

4. do managedsave and start successfully and xml no change

5. do hotplug with such alias successfully
for console:
# cat console.xml
<console type='pty'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/2'/>
      <target type='virtio' port='1'/>
      <alias name='ua-5b93a4b8-3167-410b-a365-ab31e88a709a'/>
    </console>

# virsh attach-device rhel console.xml
Device attached successfully

# virsh dumpxml rhel | grep ua
      <alias name='ua-c60aba6e-b6d8-448b-ab6e-8c7b5c29f358'/>
      <alias name='ua-5b93a4b8-3167-410b-a365-ab31e88a709a'/>

# virsh attach-device rhel channel.xml

      <alias name='ua-209377ba-e83b-4cee-9ac5-7e467e290dae'/>

for serial:
# cat serial.xml
<serial type='pty'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/1'/>
      <target type='pci-serial' port='0'>
        <model name='pci-serial'/>
      </target>
      <alias name='ua-09de3cbb-e85c-4526-8fe6-2b8ea0c5e03b'/>
