Hi,
I'm trying to pass an USB port (or hub) to a kvm/qemu guest, to no avail.
To find out which physical port I can use, I plugged a device into the port, and dmesg on the host says:
usb 3-3: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
Which device on the host is that?
lspci | grep -i usb 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 05) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05)

I tried to add the USB port to the domain by editing it and adding:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x1d6b'/> <product id='0x0003'/> </source> </hostdev>
The domain (a windows 10) starts with that, but no USB port shows up. The documentation about this totally sucks, and I couldn't find any answer that would work with a search engine, either. When I try to use the bus and port attributes, I'm getting domain verification errors from virsh edit.
Is it even possible to pass an usb port or hub through? I just need one USB port in the guest.
