Description Oved Ourfali 2012-05-16 14:06:02 UTC

Description of problem:

Looks like qemu is sensitive to the order in which the controllers are passed.
Passing them in a wrong order causes problems in QEMU.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Tried with two VMs, one in which the order was:

               <controller index="0" model="ich9-uhci3" type="usb"/>
               <controller index="0" model="ich9-ehci1" type="usb"/>
               <controller index="0" model="ich9-uhci1" type="usb"/>
               <controller index="0" model="ich9-uhci2" type="usb"/>

Failed on:
qemu-kvm: -device
ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x2: Parameter
'masterbus' expects an USB masterbus
qemu-kvm: -device
ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x2: Device
'ich9-usb-uhci3' could not be initialized

In the other VM the order was:
                <controller index="0" model="ich9-ehci1" type="usb"/>
                <controller index="0" model="ich9-uhci1" type="usb"/>
                <controller index="0" model="ich9-uhci2" type="usb"/>
                <controller index="0" model="ich9-uhci3" type="usb"/>

And it succeeded.

Actual results:
The VM in which the order is wrong fails with error:
ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x2: Parameter
'masterbus' expects an USB masterbus
qemu-kvm: -device
ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5.0x2: Device
'ich9-usb-uhci3' could not be initialized


Expected results:
Both VMs should start correctly.

I don't think this is really worth fixing... this seems like one of those 'dont do that' things :) Setting up usb2 with qemu already requires knowing the magic XML incantation to make it work, so it's not like this is intuitive in the first place
