Although setting virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr()'s fromConfig=true is correct when a PCI addres is coming from a domain's config, the *true* purpose of the fromConfig argument is to lower restrictions on what kind of device can plug into what kind of controller - if fromConfig is true, then a PCIE_DEVICE can plug into a slot that is marked as only compatible with PCI_DEVICE (and vice versa), and the HOTPLUG flag is ignored. For a long time there have been several calls to virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr() that have fromConfig incorrectly set to false - it's correct that the addresses aren't coming from user config, but they are coming from hardcoded exceptions in libvirt that should, if anything, pay *even less* attention to following the pciConnectFlags (under the assumption that the libvirt programmer knew what they were doing). See commit b87703cf7 for an example of an actual bug caused by the incorrect setting of the "fromConfig" argument to virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr(). Although they haven't resulted in any reported bugs, this patch corrects all the other incorrect settings of fromConfig in calls to virDomainPCIAddressReserveAddr().
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.
