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 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-07-21 12:10:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
EHCI handles USB 2.0 devices only and hands off USB 1.1 devices to one or more companion controllers.  qemu should emulate companion controllers so we have a single usb bus which can handle both 1.1 and 2.0 devices instead of two completely separate busses, one for 1.1 and one for 2.0 devices.
Comment 6 Shaolong Hu 2011-09-01 04:43:26 UTC 
This is a new feature, no need to reproduce, verify it on:
-----------------------------------------------------------
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.184.el6.x86_64
2.6.32-191.el6.x86_64


Steps to verify:
------------------
1.Boot guest with:
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -M rhel6.2.0 -smp 4 -m 4G -name rhel6.1-64 -uuid 3f2ea5cd-3d29-48ff-aab2-23df1b6ae213 -drive file=RHEL-Server-6.1-64-virtio.qcow2,cache=none,if=none,rerror=stop,werror=stop,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=device-virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,id=netdev0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev0,id=device-net0 -boot order=cd,menu=on -monitor stdio -vnc :10 -readconfig ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg

2.In qemu monitor:
device_add usb-tablet,bus=ehci.0,id=input0
device_add usb-hub,bus=ehci.0,id=usbhub0
device_add usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=2,bus=ehci.0,id=camera


Actual results:
-----------------
In guest:
#lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:00f7 Microsoft Corp. LifeCam VX-1000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0627:0001 Adomax Technology Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

#lsusb -t

Conclusion:
------------
Based on results above, usb 1.1 devices are dropped to companion uhci controller correctly, verified.
