Good point.

I think I should refine my series to allow hotplug if the machine is not
started.

Thanks,
Laurent

One possible issue I see with this series is that it breaks Libvirt 
migration entirely if
a CPU/mem hotplug happens in the target. With your series applied the 
migration

fails before start with:


Sorry: if a migration happens in the *source*, before the migration.


Hehe nothing like fixing a typo with another one ...

This is the Libvirt use case that fails with this patch set applied in 
QEMU master, Libvirt 3.4.0 compiled from

source:

# ./virsh start dhb_ub1704_nfs 2
#
# ./virsh setvcpus dhb_ub1704_nfs 2 --live
#
# ./virsh -c 'qemu:///system' migrate --live --domain dhb_ub1704_nfs 
--desturi qemu+ssh://target_ip/system --timeout 60 --verbose
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': CPU 
hotplug not supported without OS


This is the error msg that appears in Libvirt daemon:

2017-05-23 18:17:17.844+: 159678: error : 
qemuMonitorJSONCheckError:389 : internal error: unable to execute QEMU 
command 'device_add': CPU hotplug not supported without OS

# ./virsh -c 'qemu:///system' migrate --live --domain dhb_ub1704_nfs 
--desturi qemu+ssh://target_ip/system --timeout 60 --verbose
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': 
CPU hotplug not supported without OS


Note that I say "possible issue" because, although I believe we do 
not want to break Libvirt
if possible, I also believe that we need to think about what makes 
sense in QEMU first.




Thanks,


Daniel
