- Remove all qemu emulators - Restart libvirtd - Install qemu emulators - Call 'virsh version' -> errors The only thing that will force the qemu driver to refresh it's cached capablities info is an explict API call to GetCapabilities. However in the case when the initial caps lookup at driver connect didn't find a single qemu emulator to poll, the driver is effectively useless and really can't do anything until it's populated some qemu capabilities info. With the above steps, the user would have to either know about the magic refresh capabilities call, or restart libvirtd to pick up the changes. Instead, this patch changes things so that every time a part of th driver requests access to capabilities info, check to see if we've previously seen any emulators. If not, force a refresh. In the case of 'still no emulators found', this is still very quick, so I can't think of a downside. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000116 --- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c b/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c index 2cf3905..b662b69 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c @@ -965,6 +965,13 @@ virCapsPtr virQEMUDriverGetCapabilities(virQEMUDriverPtr driver, qemuDriverLock(driver); } + if (driver->caps->nguests == 0 && !refresh) { + VIR_DEBUG("Capabilities didn't detect any guests.
