[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/vmmouse.c: Disable vmmouse after reboot

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/vmmouse.c: Disable vmmouse after reboot

[Gerhard Wiesinger]

Bugfix after reboot when vmmouse was enabled and another OS which uses e.g. PS/2
mouse.

Details:
When a guest activated the vmmouse followed by a reboot the vmmouse was still
enabled and the PS/2 mouse was therefore unsusable. When another guest is then
booted without vmmouse support (e.g. PS/2 mouse) the mouse is not working.

Reason is that VMMouse has priority and disables all other mouse entities
and therefore must be disabled on reset.

Testscenario:
1.) Boot e.g. OS with VMMouse support (e.g. Windows with VMMouse tools)
2.) reboot
3.) Boot e.g. OS without VMMouse support (e.g. DOS) => PS/2 mouse doesn't work
     any more. Fixes that issue.

Testscenario 2 by Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>:
Confirm that this patch fixes a real issue. Setup: qemu.git,
opensuse 11.4 guest, SDL graphic, system_reset while guest is using the
vmmouse. Without the patch, the vmmouse become unusable after the
reboot. Also, the mouse stays in absolute mode even before X starts again.

Fixed by:
Disabling the vmmouse in its reset handler.

I've been able to reproduce this the day before yesterday, on my version
of qemu-kvm 0.15.1 with this patch apparently fixing the mouse after a
kdump.

Yesterday however the reporter applied the patch himself to qemu.git and
reported this patch not to fix it on their side.

We boot into the desktop, then do:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
System then reboots after a while and at login mouse does or does not work.

I had originally tried to kdump with just a virtio drive w/ default
settings; then I tried with the reporter's setting of -smp 4 (and
cache=unsafe) and was able to reproduce it. Afterwards I was able to
reproduce without -smp 4 as well; no recompilation occurred. Guest was
the same SLES11 SP2 RC2 all the time.

So, is there any indeterminism involved? I.e. is the mouse unusability
maybe not 100% reproducible? Anything else that may need to be fixed
beyond this patch?

Patch does not break anything, so for now:

Tested-by: Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de>

Thanks,
Andreas

All known issues I detected were fixed with the patch for me reproducable 
at least for now.

Thanks.

BTW: Why are always "signed offs" generated when a maintainer commits?

It documents who touched the patch (possibly including resolving minor
merge conflicts or changing the commit message) and builds a chain of
certifications that the origin and contents are okay:

Applied to stable-0.15. Thanks again,
