Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v5 4/4] hotplug: clean up disk devices/objects if adding them failed
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 11:04:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030101134.2090350-5-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030101134.2090350-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com>
Otherwise, parts of a disk are left over after a failed attempt to add
it. For VirtIO block disks this was the iothread. For SCSI disks, the
newly added controller was left over, including its iothread in case
of virtio-scsi-single, and if adding the controller itself failed, its
iothread too.
Use the same cleanup as for unplugging, so that all parts that might
have been added are removed again.
Also verify that a hotplugged SCSI disk actually shows up, like for
VirtIO block disks. Since errors of the HMP device_add command are not
reported, a failure was not noticed and the disk was moved from the
pending section into the config.
The failure can be tested by disabling hotplug, e.g. for an i440fx guest
one can use the following command line switches:
-global PIIX4_PM.acpi-root-pci-hotplug=off
-global PIIX4_PM.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=off
-global pci-bridge.shpc=off
to disable hotplug on all PCI bridges and the PCI root bus.
The added regression tests would have failed without the code change.
