When failing on starting a domain, it tries to reattach all the PCI

from the list qemu_driver->activePciHostdevs, thus the devices will be
thought as usable even if it's not true. And following commands
nodedev-{reattach,reset} will be successful.

How to reproduce:
   1) Define two domains with same PCI device defined in the confs.
   2) # virsh start domain1
   3) # virsh start domain2
   4) # virsh nodedev-reattach $pci_device

This time around, I actually spent time reproducing the bug scenario on hardware rather than just analyzing by inspection (it took me a while to figure out why the same machine that used to let me do pci passthrough was no longer working, until I realized that my hardware is old enough to be insecure, and I've upgraded software since my last passthrough test, so the CVE fix from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=715555 has to be intentionally bypassed for me to get passthrough again). With that testing, I proved that this patch prevents that problem. But, as written, your patch caused the dreaded "An error occurred, but the cause is unknown".


You will see the device will be reattached to host successfully.
As pciDeviceReattach just check if the device is still used by
other domain via checking if the device is in list driver->activePciHostdevs,
however, the device is deleted from the list by step 2).

This patch is to prohibit the bug by:
   1) Prohibit a domain starting or device attachment right at
      preparation period (qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices) if the
      device is in list driver->activePciHostdevs, which means
      it's used by other domain.

2) Introduces a new field for struct _pciDevice, (const char *used_by),
      it will be set as the domain name at preparation period,
      (qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices). Thus we can prohibit deleting
      the device from driver->activePciHostdevs if it's still used by
      other domain when stopping the domain process.

Here's where the bad message comes in - you jump to cleanup without ever emitting an error message. Not to mention now that we have the new used_by field, the message could actually be informative :) With my changes below, I get the much nicer:

Error starting domain: Requested operation is not valid: PCI device 0000:0a:0a.0 is in use by domain dom

Oh, right, thanks for the fixing, :)

used_by is kept as it might be NULL.


In that case, use STRNEQ_NULLABLE. But you are right - across libvirtd restarts, we lose track of which domain owns the device - so I did indeed reproduce a case of NULL. Perhaps food for a later patch (when reloading domains, cycle through all hostdevs in use by active domains to repopulate the used_by fields). But not a show-stopper to getting this bug fix in now.

Yes, I didn't realize this, we need further patch.


After thinking a while, even we set the used_by during domains reloading,
the other attrs (dev->unbind_from_stub, dev->reprobe, dev->remove_slot)
of the PCI dev still will be lost. We can't known what values should be
for these attrs as generally they are initialized when do preparation,
however the preparations are already passed, and the devices are using
by the running domains. And thus the device won't be bound to the
original driver (if it had) correctly, or mistakenly bound to some driver
but it didn't have one.

Perhaps we need some new XMLs introduced for hostdevs.
