The qbus_is_full(BusState *bus) function (qdev_monitor.c) compares the max_index
value of the BusState structure with the max_dev value of the BusClass structure
to determine whether the maximum number of children has been reached for the
bus. The problem is, the max_index field of the BusState structure does not
necessarily reflect the number of devices that have been plugged into
the bus.
Whenever a child device is plugged into the bus, the bus's max_index value is
assigned to the child device and then incremented. If the child is subsequently
unplugged, the value of the max_index does not change and no longer reflects the
number of children.
When the bus's max_index value reaches the maximum number of devices
allowed for the bus (i.e., the max_dev field in the BusClass structure),
attempts to plug another device will be rejected claiming that the bus is
full -- even if the bus is actually empty.
To resolve the problem, a new 'num_children' field is being added to the
BusState structure to keep track of the number of children plugged into the
bus. It will be incremented when a child is plugged, and decremented when a
child is unplugged.
