Yes, qemu_hotplug.c has a few of those places using == DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_PCI

Since they happen after parse is finished, it should be safe.
And anyway, looking at those uses, I think what most of them are doing
(calling virDomainPCIAddressEnsureAddr()) is 100% unnecessary, since
it's now already done when addresses are assigned in
qemuDomainDefAssignAddresses(), which has already been called.
Actually, virDomainPCIAddressEnsureAddr is the place where the address
gets assigned.
Exactly. But I was looking only at the _CONFIG version of hotplug, and
saw that the PCI address had already been assigned by the time we called
EnsureAddr, so it was superfluous. I didn't catch the bit that you point
out below - in the case of live-only that assignment isn't done.
But only when address == NONE or PCI, which is OK because
virDomainPCIAddressEnsureAddr calls PCIAddressIsPresent to decide
whether it needs to allocate a new one.
qemuDomainDefAssignAddresses is only called after parsing the whole
domain, not just one device.
Cole pushed a patch yesterday to cause it to be called during
attach-device as well, but only in the case of _CONFIG, so your point
still stands. I guess the patch to remove the other EnsureAddr stuff
needs to be combined with moving that AssignAddresses call to a point
that is common for live and config (which makes sense - they really do
both need the same address)
(Back in
Jan 2010 when the calls to qemuDomainPCIAddressEnsureAddr() were added
(commit d8acc4), this was not the case - they were needed in order for
the new devices to get an address assigned, but a lot has changed since
then - even before Cole put in the postparse callback address assignment
stuff and called it when attaching a device, we had already been
assigning addresses during the higher level qemuDomainAttachDeviceConfig
for a long time (since commit f5dd58a in June 2012;
qemuDomainAttachDeviceConfig is for changing the persistent definition.
Hotplug in qemuDomainAttachDeviceLive does not call any other address
assignment function.
Yeah, I missed that in my haste.
