Rephrasing my question a bit, to make it more clear. We are now working on adding the support for native USB devices on oVirt.
This requires adding composite PCI devices to a VM (details below), requiring specific set of restrictions on the addresses of these devices, and the connections between them. Is it possible to add such a composite set of devices to a VM while using automatic address assignment, as we do today on the other PCI devices?
To be clear, what the ovirt-engine people want to do (AFAIK), is add an EHCI controller with UHCI companion controllers to a vm, which would normally be done in the xml file like this:
<controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x2'/> </controller>
Without manually specifying the addresses, ie they want to be able to write something like:
<controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> </controller>
As indicated by danpb in a follow up mail fixing this so that the following: <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> </controller> Will work should be doable, a bug has been filed for tracking this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820869 Regards, Hans
