Hi again! Managed to get 2.8 installed, and all the dependencies. I also grabbed the 2.8 version of everything else qemu* related 'just in case'
Unfortunately... qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-2.8/qemu-2.8+dfsg/hw/usb/core.c:584: usb_packet_copy: Assertion `p->actual_length + bytes <= iov->size' failed. I did try 2.7 with another USB device, this time just a '1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter' on an ESP8266, and it worked just fine. I'm also wondering if it's hardware related, and will be swapping cables, etc over the coming days. However, an unreliable USB deivce shouldn't kill a VM, so maybe some protection is still required in the USB redirection handling code?

Also, this has been known to happen when adding the USB device, leaving the VM in a 'Shutoff (Crashed)' state. I'm not sure if it's related. *** Error in `qemu-system-x86_64': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00007f45d2b3a200 *** and ... *** Error in `qemu-system-x86_64': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00007fa2cd10b560 *** I'll try the 2.8 version shortly!

Please excuse me for that, that's ENOCOFFEE :) This smells like something specific to this usb device. Did you try other devices? The thing is that usb passthrough generally works. Can you also please show where it asserts out in case of 2.7 version from bpo? Also there's 2.8 version built for bpo (but not uploaded yet, since 2.8 hasn't been entered -testing), available at http://www.corpit.ru/debian/tls/qemu/qemu-system-x86_2.8+dfsg-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb which can be of interest in this context too, but this might be too much for you to try (this version is built with gtk and virgl support, so there will be other deps). Thanks, /mjt
