729104 – qemu-kvm: pci needs multifunction property

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 2011-08-08 17:55:26 UTC

Description of problem:

Sidestepping the missing multifunction property in RHEL-6 with some magic was vetoed in patch review, so I'm going to backport the patches which implement the multifunction property instead.

Hi,Gerd

Comment 5 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-08-09 05:54:50 UTC

All pci devices in qemu get a new property named "multifunction".  This can be used to create --for example -- multifunction usb controllers.

qemu $usualoptions -readconfig ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ comment #4 attachment

will create such a controller in slot 1d.  Inside the (linux) guest it will look like this:

[root@rhel6 ~]# lspci -s 1d
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03)

Comment 9 juzhang 2011-09-01 04:49:25 UTC

Can reproduce this issue with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.179.el6.

Steps:
1. boot guest with usb-ehci enable multifunction
/qemu-kvm ...............
-device usb-ehci,id=echi,multifunction=on

Results:
qemu-kvm: -device usb-ehci,id=echi,multifunction=on: Property 'usb-ehci.multifunction' not found

Verified this issue with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.184.el6

I tried two scenarios.

1. 8 usb controller & usb-hub.
1.1#cat test.cfg

[device "ehci"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-ehci1"
  addr = "1d.7"
  multifunction = "on"

[device "uhci-1"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci1"
  addr = "1d.0"
  multifunction = "on"
  masterbus = "ehci.0"
  firstport = "0"

[device "uhci-2"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci2"
  addr = "1d.1"
  multifunction = "on"
  masterbus = "ehci.0"
  firstport = "2"

[device "uhci-3"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci3"
  addr = "1d.2"
  multifunction = "on"
  masterbus = "ehci.0"
  firstport = "4"

[device "uhci-4"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci1"
  addr = "1d.3"
  multifunction = "on"

[device "uhci-5"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci2"
  addr = "1d.4"
  multifunction = "on"

[device "uhci-6"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci3"
  addr = "1d.5"
  multifunction = "on"

[device "uhci-7"]
  driver = "ich9-usb-uhci2"
  addr = "1d.6"
  multifunction = "on"
1.2 boot guest with test.cfg and usb-hub

Comment 11 Nandini Chandra 2011-09-19 18:49:33 UTC

I've verified that with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.180,I can assign multiple functions of a dual-port Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) to a RHEL 6 guest on RHEL 6.1 host.I was not able to assign multiple functions of the NIC with older versions of qemu-kvm.


lspci output from Host
----------------------
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
-----------------------

Command line used to start the guest:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 1024 -name "RHEL6_com" -drive file=rhel6.1.qcow2,if=virtio -usb -usbdevice tablet -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=00:16:3E:71:1E:A2 -net tap,ifname=tap1,script=no,downscript=no -device pci-assign,host=02:00.0,multifunction=on,addr=5.0 -device pci-assign,host=02:00.1,addr=5.1 -vnc :0


lspci output from guest
----------------------
00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
00:05.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
-----------------------

On the guest,this is how the functions get mapped:
02:00.0 ->00:05.0
02:00.1 ->00:05.1
