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 smitterl 2019-10-09 09:19:44 UTC
Description of problem:
usb is not supported on platform but virsh domcapabilities lists it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-4.5.0-35.module+el8.1.0+4227+b2722cb3
qemu-kvm-2.12.0-88.module+el8.1.0+4233+bc44be3f


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. 'virsh domcapabilities --virttype kvm --machine s390-ccw-virtio --arch s390x --emulatorbin /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm'

Actual results:
/domainCapabilities/devices/hostdev:
<hostdev supported='yes'>
...
      <enum name='subsysType'>
        <value>usb</value>
        <value>pci</value>
        <value>scsi</value>
      </enum>


Expected results:
/domainCapabilities/devices/hostdev:
<hostdev supported='yes'>
...
      <enum name='subsysType'>
        <value>pci</value>
        <value>scsi</value>
      </enum>

Comment 1 Cornelia Huck 2019-10-09 09:25:39 UTC
The base problem probably is that the machine accepts 'usb=on', even though usb is not supported on s390.

We may want to make it possible for the machine to disable usb support (it is already possible for things like parallel.)

Comment 2 smitterl 2019-10-15 07:46:57 UTC
domaincapabilities also returns
...
<graphics supported='yes'>
      <enum name='type'>
        <value>sdl</value>
        <value>vnc</value>
      </enum>
</graphics>
...

but defining machine fails starting with 'qemu-kvm: -sdl: SDL support is disabled'

Comment 3 Luiz Capitulino 2019-10-15 17:38:01 UTC
Talked to Cornelia about this BZ and, while it's nice to get this fixed,
our conclusion is that this is low-priority because there's nothing
impacted by the fact usb support shows up in virsh domcapabilities
(this is informational only).

Looking at src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c in the libvirt sources, it rather seems like this is hard-coded in libvirt:

static int
virQEMUCapsFillDomainDeviceHostdevCaps(virQEMUCapsPtr qemuCaps,
                                       virDomainCapsDeviceHostdevPtr hostdev)
{
    [...]
    VIR_DOMAIN_CAPS_ENUM_SET(hostdev->subsysType,
                             VIR_DOMAIN_HOSTDEV_SUBSYS_TYPE_USB,
                             VIR_DOMAIN_HOSTDEV_SUBSYS_TYPE_PCI,
                             VIR_DOMAIN_HOSTDEV_SUBSYS_TYPE_SCSI);
    [...]
}

I think libvirt should rather check for the availability of a USB host controller before setting the domain capability here, i.e. check for one of these QEMU capabilities:

    QEMU_CAPS_PIIX3_USB_UHCI, /* -device piix3-usb-uhci */
    QEMU_CAPS_PIIX4_USB_UHCI, /* -device piix4-usb-uhci */
    QEMU_CAPS_USB_EHCI, /* -device usb-ehci */
    QEMU_CAPS_ICH9_USB_EHCI1, /* -device ich9-usb-ehci1 and friends */
    QEMU_CAPS_VT82C686B_USB_UHCI, /* -device vt82c686b-usb-uhci */
    QEMU_CAPS_PCI_OHCI, /* -device pci-ohci */
    QEMU_CAPS_NEC_USB_XHCI, /* -device nec-usb-xhci */
    QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QEMU_XHCI, /* -device qemu-xhci */

Concerning the <graphics>, I think libvirt should use the "query-display-options" QMP command of QEMU to find out what graphic backends are available in QEMU (SDL currently seems to be hardcoded there, too)

Ah, scratch that, this QMP command only provides information about the current display option, but does not list the available ones.

Not sure whether there is a way to query this information in a proper way at all. Maybe this needs a new QMP command to be defined?
