In a case where we want to hotplug the following disk:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
(...)
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
In a QEMU guest that has a single OS disk, as follows:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
(...)
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
What happens is that the existing guest disk will receive the ID
'scsi0-0-0-0' due to how Libvirt calculate the alias based on
the address in qemu_alias.c, qemuAssignDeviceDiskAlias. When hotplugging
a disk that happens to have the same address, Libvirt will calculate
the same ID to it and attempt to device_add. QEMU will refuse it:
$ virsh attach-device ub1810 hp-disk-dup.xml
error: Failed to attach device from hp-disk-dup.xml
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Duplicate ID 'scsi0-0-0-0' for device
And Libvirt follows it up with a cleanup code in qemuDomainAttachDiskGeneric
that ends up removing what supposedly is a faulty hotplugged disk but, in
this case, ends up being the original guest disk.
This patch adds an address verification for all attached devices, avoid
calling the driver attach() function using a device with duplicated address.
The change is done in virDomainDefCompatibleDevice when @action is equal
to VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ACTION_ATTACH. The affected callers are:
- qemuDomainAttachDeviceLiveAndConfig, both LIVE and CONFIG cases;
- lxcDomainAttachDeviceFlags, both LIVE and CONFIG.
The check is done using the virDomainDefHasDeviceAddress, a generic
function that can check address duplicates for all supported device
types, not limiting just to DeviceDisk type.
After this patch, this is the result of the previous attach-device call:
$ ./run tools/virsh attach-device ub1810 hp-disk-dup.xml
error: Failed to attach device from hp-disk-dup.xml
error: Requested operation is not valid: Domain already contains a device with the same address

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:
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:

Contact
The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists:
- libvirt-users@redhat.com (for user discussions)
- libvir-list@redhat.com (for development only)
