[libvirt] [PATCH] domain_conf: skip boot order check of CD-ROM or floppy device
Posted by Chen Hanxiao 7 years, 10 months ago 
From: Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@gmail.com>

If we insert or eject a CD-ROM/floppy device with a boot order,
we may get:
  unsupported configuration: boot order 2 is already used by another device

This check should be skipped in this case.

Is there a specific reason for your assertion?  Given what scenario?

virDomainDefCompatibleDevice is called from Attach and Update qemu/lxc
code currently.

I dunno, but if someone is trying to attach or update a floppy/cdrom and
wanted to use a boot index in use by something else, then I would think
inhibiting that is a good idea...

Typically the deref would be something like virDomainDiskDefPtr disk =
device->data.disk; and then "disk->device"

BTW: @device would then no longer be ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED.

1) create a VM by virt-manger with a virtio disk and a cd-rom
2) set boot order of them
3) Try to eject a CD-rom device, such as installing an OS with multiple DVDs
    i. e: virsh change-media ...
4) got:
  unsupported configuration: boot order 2 is already used by another device.

We updated the source file of floppy/cdrom, which is not a hotplug operation,
so the boot order check should be skipped.

Yes. Also, even though libvirt does not support cdrom/floppy hotplug,
assuming that this is an update based only on the disk type feels wrong.
