These two controllers are used to create a new root bus on a 440fx (pxb) or q35 (pxb-pie) virtual machine. There may be other use cases, but the main reason for me taking the time to support a separate root bus is to have assigned devices be visible in the guest on a different NUMA node, so that the guest can be aware of the locality of the device wrt CPU and memory that are on different NUMA nodes - although you aren't required to, you can add a <node>N</node> subelement to the bus' <target> element to indicate which NUMA node it is on (it's up to the management application to place devices on that bus that really are on the given NUMA node in the host). There are several differences between pxb and pxb-pcie, which are detailed in the individual commit log messages, but in short: 1) pxb is for 440fx, pxb-pcie for q35 (they *might* work on other arches/machinetypes that have a PCI or PCIe bus, but I haven't enabled that) 2) pxb has an integrate d pci-bridge with 32 slots that are (should be) hotplug-capable, while pxb-pcie supplies only a single slot, and it will only accept a pcie-root-port (which will then accept a single device, hotplug-capable) or a pcie-switch-upstream-port. Along the way I encountered a few minor problems/ugliness that I took care of in patches 01/15 - 09/15. pxb support is in 10-12, and pxb-pcie is in 13-15 There is a bugzilla record associated with this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103314 Laine Stump (15): schema: make pci slot and function optional schema: rename uint8range/uint24range to uint8/uint24 schema: new basic type - uint16 schema: allow pci address attributes to be in decimal conf: use #define instead of literal for highest slot in upstream port conf: allow use of slot 0 in a dmi-to-pci-bridge conf/qemu: change the way VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_* flags work conf: utility function to convert PCI controller model into connect type qemu: set PCI controller default modelName in a separate function qemu: add capabilities bit for device "pxb" conf: new pci controller model pci-expander-bus qemu: support new pci controller model "pci-expander-bus" qemu: add capabilities bit for device "pxb-pcie" conf: new pci controller model pcie-expander-bus qemu: support new pci controller model "pcie-expander-bus" docs/formatdomain.html.in | 74 +++- docs/schemas/basictypes.rng | 63 ++-- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 23 +- docs/schemas/networkcommon.rng | 12 +- docs/schemas/nwfilter.rng | 16 +- src/bhyve/bhyve_device.c | 10 +- src/conf/domain_addr.c | 119 +++++-- src/conf/domain_addr.h | 68 ++-- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 61 +++- src/conf/domain_conf.h | 11 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 2 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 74 ++++ src/qemu/qemu_domain.c | 42 +++ src/qemu/qemu_domain_address.c | 305 +++++++++------- tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.4.0-1.caps | 1 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0-1.caps | 1 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.6.0-1.caps | 2 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.6.0-1.replies | 3 + .../qemuxml2argv-aarch64-virtio-pci-default.args | 2 +- ...l2argv-aarch64-virtio-pci-manual-addresses.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus-bad-machine.xml | 167 +++++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus-bad-node.xml | 160 +++++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus.args | 87 +++++ .../qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus.xml | 167 +++++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-pcie-expander-bus-bad-machine.xml | 36 ++ .../qemuxml2argv-pcie-expander-bus.args | 123 +++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-pcie-expander-bus.xml | 247 +++++++++++++ .../qemuxml2argv-pcie-root-port.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pcie-root.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-pcie-switch-downstream-port.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-pcie-switch-upstream-port.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-pcihole64-q35.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-q35-pm-disable-fallback.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-q35-pm-disable.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-q35-usb2-multi.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-q35-usb2-reorder.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-q35-usb2.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-q35.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-usb-controller-default-q35.args | 2 +- .../qemuxml2argv-usb-controller-explicit-q35.args | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c | 25 ++ .../qemuxml2xmlout-aarch64-virtio-pci-default.xml | 2 +- ...2xmlout-aarch64-virtio-pci-manual-addresses.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-pci-expander-bus.xml | 207 +++++++++++ .../qemuxml2xmlout-pcie-expander-bus.xml | 384 +++++++++++++++++++++ .../qemuxml2xmlout-pcie-root-port.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-pcie-root.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-pcie-switch-downstream-port.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-pcie-switch-upstream-port.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-pcihole64-q35.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-q35-usb2-multi.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmlout-q35-usb2-reorder.xml | 2 +- .../qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-q35-usb2.xml | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-q35.xml | 2 +- tests/qemuxml2xmltest.c | 10 + 57 files changed, 2296 insertions(+), 261 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus-bad-machine.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus-bad-node.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pci-expander-bus.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pcie-expander-bus-bad-machine.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pcie-expander-bus.args create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-pcie-expander-bus.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-pci-expander-bus.xml create mode 100644 tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/qemuxml2xmlout-pcie-expander-bus.xml -- 2.5.5 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
