Bug detailed description:
--------------------------
when creating guest with parameter "-monitor pty", then send command (e.g.
migrate, device_add) to the pts device. If I don't flush the pts device (e.g.
using cat /dev/pts/8) to flush the pts device, the monitor command doesn't take
effect. I know some old qemu (e.g. 1.3) didn't have this issue.
create KVM guest:
[root@vt-snb9 ~]# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -net none
/root/cathy/rhel6u4.qcow -monitor pty
char device redirected to /dev/pts/8 (label compat_monitor0)
VNC server running on `::1:5900'
hot plug a PCI device:
[root@vt-snb9 ~]# echo "device_add pci-assign,host=05:10.0,id=nic" >/dev/pts/8
(here, the device cannot hot plug to the guest.)
if you run command "cat /dev/pts/8", the device will hot plug to the
guest.
hot remove the device:
[root@vt-snb9 ~]# echo "device_del nic">/dev/pts/8
(here, the device cannot hot remove from the guest.)
if you run command "cat /dev/pts/8" the device can hot remove from the
guest
Reproduce steps:
----------------
1. qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -net none
/root/cathy/rhel6u4.qcow -monitor pty
2. echo "device_add pci-assign,host=05:10.0,id=nic" >/dev/pts/8
(or using 'migrate' command in qemu monitor redirection device /dev/pts/8 )
Current result:
----------------
device can not hot plug or hot remove from the guest before exec 'cat
/dev/pts/8'.
