  • KVM-Switch USB passthrough, no USB Devices

    You could probably hack this together yourself though. For pure qemu, u/darkguy2008 at some point wrote hotplugger. For libvirt, however, you're probably better off hacking this together yourself using udev rules and an attach/detach script that gets fired based on them. This old comment of mine might help to get you started with that. Note, however, that I never had to deal with device paths for hubs; they might not be as stable as you like.

    I'd like to chime in with my Hotplugger project https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger it might be helpful to assign a specific USB port inside the same controller to different VMs.

    If it helps, and it helps you and others, make sure to link my project https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger as it helps to do selective USB passthrough instead of passing through a full USB controller or buying an extra USB card. There are a couple bugs to iron out, but overall it works fine :) much appreciated!

    I just came here to suggest that you can try my Hotplugger app, I made it specifically for sharing USB ports between VMs, dynamically depending on their on/off status. I figured it could help to solve some of your EVDEV problems :)
  • QEMU USB Redirection - How much overhead (cpu usage & latency) is there compared to when connecting to passthroughed PCIe USB controller?
    1 project | /r/VFIO | 16 Feb 2022
    Well, I made hotplugger ( https://github.com/darkguy2008/hotplugger ) as an app to configure USB port redirection per VM, and I used it with my Corsair Void Elite Pro wireless headset, a Logitech MX Master 2 USB receiver and a standard Redragon keyboard. I didn't experience any kind of latency in any of them compared to running them in bare metal.

    Hotplugger. I've never actually tried it yet, but it seems to do what you want.
