commit f094aaac changed qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices() such that it may modify the "backend" (vfio vs. legacy kvm) setting in the virHostdevDef. However, qemuDomainAttachHostPciDevice() (used by hotplug) copies the backend setting into a local *before* calling qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices(), and then later makes a decision based on that pre-change value. The result is that, if the backend had been set to "default" (i.e. not specified in the config) and was later updated to "VFIO" by qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices(), the qemu process' MacMemLock is not increased (as is required for VFIO device assignment). This patch delays making the local copy of backend until after its potential modification.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
