Here's a new version of the patch. It works for me. Deep nesting of bridges is supported. You need a small BIOS patch to support the OSHP method if you want hotplug to work. I will post this separately. We'd need a full ACPI driver to make hotplug work for guests without an SHPC driver (e.g. windows XP). Management support will also be needed. One small wrinkle is that the pci_addr property wants data in a format bus:device.function which is broken as guests can change bus numbers. For testing I used the 'addr' property which encodes slot*8+function#. We probably want to extend pci_addr in some way (e.g. :device.function ? Thoughts?). The SHPC controller supports up to 31 devices (out of 32 slots) so slot 0 doesn't support hotplug. Non hot-pluggable devices behind the bridge don't work currectly (we'll try to unplug them) so don't do this. For now I just blocked adding devices in slot 0, in the future it might be possible to add a non-hotpluggable device there. Example: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1G -drive file=/home/mst/rhel6.qcow2 -netdev tap,id=foo,ifname=msttap0,script=/home/mst/ifup,downscript=no,vhost=on -device pci-bridge,id=bog -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=foo,bus=bog,addr=8 Hot-unplug currently causes qemu to crash, this happens without this patch too, so I'm not worried :) New since v1: hotplug support -- MST Michael S.
