Don't you need > to check that as well? vhost device can be hotplugged after memory hotplug as far as current slots count doesn't exceed its limit, if limit is exceeded device_add would fail or virtio device would fallback to non vhost mode at its start-up (depends on how particular device treats vhost_start failure). > > > > > > Igor Mammedov (2): > > vhost: add vhost_has_free_slot() interface > > pc-dimm: add vhost slots limit check before commiting to hotplug > > > > hw/mem/pc-dimm.c | 7 +++++++ > > hw/virtio/vhost-backend.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++++++- > > hw/virtio/vhost-user.c | 8 +++++++- > > hw/virtio/vhost.c | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ > > include/hw/virtio/vhost-backend.h | 2 ++ > > include/hw/virtio/vhost.h | 1 + > > stubs/Makefile.objs | 1 + > > stubs/vhost.c | 6 ++++++ > > 8 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > create mode 100644 stubs/vhost.c > > > > -- > > 1.8.3.1
