Patch version revamped by Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> of Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com> original patch When attaching a PCI device which doesn't explicitly set its PCI address, libvirt allocates the address automatically. The problem is that when checking which PCI address is unused, we only check for those with slot number higher than the highest slot number ever used. Thus attaching/detaching such device several times in a row (31 is the theoretical limit, less then 30 tries are enough in practise) makes any further device attachment fail. Furthermore, attaching a device with predefined PCI address to 0:0:31 immediately forbids attachment of any PCI device without explicit address. This patch changes the logic so that we always check all PCI addresses before we say there is no PCI address available. Modifications from v1: revert back to remembering the last slot reserved, but allow wraparound to not be limited by the end. In this way, slots are still assigned in the same order as before the patch, rather than filling in the gaps closest to 0 and risking making windows guests mad. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: fix pci reservation code to do a round-robbin check of all available PCI splot availability before failing.
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.
