With new libvirt-6.9.0, any USB host device connected to virtual machine does not find in guest Gentoo OS. Tested in guest kernel 5.8.8 && 5.8.18 and host kernel 5.8.18. Downgrading libvirt to 6.8.0 does disappear the issue.
Same for me, but with Windows 10 guest.
I did some bisecting and looks like this commit is causing it: >bfb1ab1df12e8dccfde42d1a6019bf2e628bf366 is the first bad commit >commit bfb1ab1df12e8dccfde42d1a6019bf2e628bf366 >Author: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> >Date: Wed Sep 9 13:15:15 2020 +0200 > > qemu: Use .hostdevice attribute for usb-host > > This originally started as bug 1595525 in which namespaces and > libusb used in QEMU were not playing nicely with each other.

Not exactly the same problem for me. For me USB keyboards works but not USB mice does not work. It shows up as "Unknown USB device (Invalid Configuration Descriptor)" in device manager on a Windows 10 VM. Can confirm it is caused by commit bfb1ab1df12e8dccfde42d1a6019bf2e628bf366. Built libvirt and tried it on said commit and it did not work. It does work on the previous commit though (66c5674e797ee1f255c45db1509624537e451a64). Had a chat on libvirt's IRC channel and they think it might be a bug in qemu or libusb.

There is nothing more in libvirt to it. Perhaps it's app-emulation/qemu where the bug is then? I can't reproduce, but I also have the latest libusb: dev-libs/libusb-1.0.23-r1. The QEMU commit that introduced .hostdevice mentions the minimal libusb version to be 1.0.23: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=9f815e83e983d247a3cd67579d2d9c1765adc644;hp=5c24bce3056ff209a1ecc50ff4b7e65b85ad8e74 Although, if older libusb was present then the .hostdevice attribute wouldn't exist and libvirt would use the old set of attributes.
Alright, turns out it is app-emulation/qemu bug: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/99#note_453201795 I'll backport it.

While previously .hostbus= and .hostaddr= were used they were not really good fit and often get in way of another libvirt feature - namespaces (see v6.9.0-rc1~456 libvirt commit for more info). The new way of configuring USB devices is .hostdevice=/dev/bus/usb/.../... but it exposed a bug in libusb which is worked around in qemu (see v5.1.0-599-g202d69a715 QEMU commit for more info). Backport the workaround for the time being. It can be dropped when we rebase to 5.2.0.
