Thanks to the complex capability caching code virQEMUCapsProbeQMP was never called when we were starting a new qemu VM. On the other hand, when we are reconnecting to the qemu process we reload the capability list from the status XML file. This means that the flag preventing the function being called was not set and thus we partially reprobed some of the capabilities. The recent addition of CPU hotplug clears the QEMU_CAPS_QUERY_HOTPLUGGABLE_CPUS if the machine does not support it. The partial re-probe on reconnect results into attempting to call the unsupported command and then killing the VM. Remove the partial reprobe and depend on the stored capabilities. If it will be necessary to reprobe the capabilities in the future, we should do a full reprobe rather than this partial one.
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.
