From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> The QMP device_add monitor command converts the QDict arguments to QemuOpts and then back again to QDict. This process only supports scalar types. Device properties like virtio-blk-pci's iothread-vq-mapping (an array of objects) are silently dropped by qemu_opts_from_qdict() during the QemuOpts conversion even though QAPI is capable of validating them. As a result, hotplugging virtio-blk-pci devices with the iothread-vq-mapping property does not work as expected (the property is ignored).
Get rid of the QemuOpts conversion in qmp_device_add() and call qdev_device_add_from_qdict() with from_json=true. Using the QMP command's QDict arguments directly allows non-scalar properties. The HMP is also adjusted since qmp_device_add()'s now expects properly typed JSON arguments and cannot be used from HMP anymore. Move the code that was previously in qmp_device_add() (with QemuOpts conversion and from_json=false) into hmp_device_add() so that its behavior is unchanged. This patch changes the behavior of QMP device_add but not HMP device_add. QMP clients that sent incorrectly typed device_add QMP commands no longer work. This is a breaking change but clients should be using the correct types already. See the netdev_add QAPIfication in commit db2a380c8457 for similar reasoning and object-add in commit 9151e59a8b6e. Unlike those commits, we continue to rely on 'gen': false for the time being. Markus helped me figure this out and even provided a draft patch. The code ended up very close to what he suggested.
