[PATCH] qemu: Don't specify vfio-pci.ramfb when ramfb is false
Posted by Jonathon Jongsma 1 year, 7 months ago 
Commit 7c8e606b64c73ca56d7134cb16d01257f39c53ef attempted to fix
the specification of the ramfb property for vfio-pci devices, but it
failed when ramfb is explicitly set to 'off'. This is because only the
'vfio-pci-nohotplug' device supports the 'ramfb' property. Since we use
the base 'vfio-pci' device unless ramfb is enabled, attempting to set
the 'ramfb' parameter to 'off' this will result in an error like the
following:

  error: internal error: QEMU unexpectedly closed the monitor
  (vm='rhel'): 2024-06-06T04:43:22.896795Z qemu-kvm: -device
  {"driver":"vfio-pci","host":"0000:b1:00.4","id":"hostdev0","display":"on
  ","ramfb":false,"bus":"pci.7","addr":"0x0"}: Property 'vfio-pci.ramfb'
  not found.

This also more closely matches what is done for mdev devices.
