The expectation is that any mgmt app adopting JSON syntax will do so universally and not mix old and new syntax. So in practice the scenario above is not one that QEMU ever intended to have used by apps. Regards, Daniel

Based on the previous post they are using some 'qemu:commandline' overrides with the legacy syntax with new libvirt which uses JSON syntax: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-netdev'/> <qemu:arg value='user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp::44483-:22'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet0,mac=00:16:3E:68:00:10,romfile='/> </qemu:commandline> I suggested that they should add the required functionality to libvirt instead of trying to hack qemu: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2022-02/msg05068.html

Or to specify the PCI address so it doesn't clash with other devices already present. Regards, Daniel

Thanks Daniel and Peter for comments. Clear on my side. I'll synchronize your suggestions to my colleague. Regards Zhenzhong

For example, after this patch, help doesn't work any more: $ build/qemu-system-x86_64 -device help qemu-system-x86_64: -device help: 'help' is not a valid device model name Any non-string property doesn't work any more in non-JSON syntax: $ $ build/qemu-system-x86_64 -blockdev null-co,node-name=disk -device virtio-blk,drive=disk,physical_block_size=4096 qemu-system-x86_64: -device virtio-blk,drive=disk,physical_block_size=4096: Parameter 'physical_block_size' expects uint64 There may be more cases that are broken with this patch.

Ah, yes. Thanks for point out. I should have learned more before writing this patch. Sorry for the noise. And we will try the libvirt maintainer suggested way on this issue. Regards Zhenzhong

While there are mixed use of traditional -device option and JSON syntax option, QEMU reports conflict, e.x: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nodefaults \ -device '{"driver":"virtio-scsi-pci","id":"scsi0","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x02.0"}' \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,bus=pci.0 It breaks with: qemu-kvm: -device {"driver":"virtio-scsi-pci","id":"scsi0","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x02.0"}: PCI: slot 2 function 0 not available for virtio-scsi-pci, in use by virtio-scsi-pci But if we reformat first -device same as the second, so only same kind of option for all the devices, it succeeds, vice versa. e.x: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nodefaults \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=02.0 \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,bus=pci.0 Succeed! Because both kind of options are inserted into their own list and break the order in QEMU command line during BDF auto assign. Fix it by transform QemuOpts into JSON syntax and insert in JSON device list, so the order in QEMU command line kept.
