Description Erik Skultety 2019-01-08 11:28:39 UTC

Description of problem:
QAPI lacks the definition of the return object type for the device_add command, thus making it impossible for libvirt to traverse the schema and use appropriate device feature flags.

Known gap in QMP introspection, see slide 39 of
http://www.linux-kvm.org/images/7/7a/02x05-Aspen-Markus_Armbruster-QEMU_interface_introspection.pdf

Related gaps: netdev_add (slide 38), and QAPI type 'any' used for qom-get, qom-set, object-add, query-cpu-model-expansion & friends (type CpuModelInfo member 'props')

Comment 3 Ademar Reis 2020-02-05 22:53:39 UTC

QEMU has been recently split into sub-components and as a one-time operation to avoid breakage of tools, we are setting the QEMU sub-component of this BZ to "General". Please review and change the sub-component if necessary the next time you review this BZ. Thanks
