Laine Stump 18c24bc686 qemu: assign correct type of PCI address for vhost-scsi when using pcie-root
Commit 10c73bf1 fixed a bug that I had introduced back in commit
70249927 - if a vhost-scsi device had no manually assigned PCI
address, one wouldn't be assigned automatically. There was a slight
problem with the logic of the fix though - in the case of domains with
pcie-root (e.g. those with a q35 machinetype),
qemuDomainDeviceCalculatePCIConnectFlags() will attempt to determine
if the host-side PCI device is Express or legacy by examining sysfs
based on the host-side PCI address stored in
hostdev->source.subsys.u.pci.addr, but that part of the union is only
valid for PCI hostdevs, *not* for SCSI hostdevs. So we end up trying
to read sysfs for some probably-non-existent device, which fails, and
the function virPCIDeviceIsPCIExpress() returns failure (-1).

By coincidence, the return value is being examined as a boolean, and
since -1 is true, we still end up assigning the vhost-scsi device to
an Express slot, but that is just by chance (and could fail in the
case that the gibberish in the "hostside PCI address" was the address
of a real device that happened to be legacy PCI).

Since (according to Paolo Bonzini) vhost-scsi devices appear just like
virtio-scsi devices in the guest, they should follow the same rules as
virtio devices when deciding whether they should be placed in an
Express or a legacy slot. That's accomplished in this patch by
returning early with virtioFlags, rather than erroneously using
hostdev->source.subsys.u.pci.addr. It also adds a test case for PCIe
to assure it doesn't get broken in the future.

Build Status CII Best Practices

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:

https://libvirt.org

License

The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.

Installation

Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install

While to build & install as an unprivileged user

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install

The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.

Contributing

The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
