Add an explicit XHCI controller device for macOS 15 and newer, then expose runtime storage operations over vfkit's Unix-domain REST endpoint.

  • Attach NBD exports and local raw images as USB mass-storage devices
  • Make attach and detach idempotent, with conflicts for reused device IDs
  • Keep backend URIs and paths out of responses and restrict socket modes
  • Reject TCP storage control and validate IDs, paths, sizes, and NBD input
  • Retain Virtualization.framework objects until detach completes
  • Add unit, race, configuration, REST, and integration coverage
  • Verify discovery, I/O, and detach in a Fedora ARM64 guest

Raw-image DELETE requests only detach the guest device. They never remove or truncate the backing file. NBD detach leaves the remote export untouched.

Requires macOS 15 or newer for the XHCI controller and runtime USB APIs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added runtime USB storage hotplug for NBD-backed and raw-disk devices.
    • Added REST endpoints to attach, list, and detach storage devices.
    • Added USB XHCI controller configuration through --device usb-xhci on macOS 15 and later.
    • Added storage connection-state reporting, validation, and safer error responses.
    • Unix-domain REST sockets now use owner-only access permissions.
  • Documentation

    • Documented runtime storage configuration, supported endpoints, validation rules, response codes, and TCP endpoint limitations.

Hi @Ormod. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a crc-org member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Walkthrough

The change adds USB XHCI configuration and runtime USB storage hotplug. It provides NBD and raw-disk REST endpoints over Unix sockets, tracks attachment state, validates requests, redacts sensitive locations, and adds unit, REST, documentation, and VM integration tests.

Changes

USB storage hotplug

Layer / File(s) Summary
USB XHCI configuration
pkg/config/*, pkg/vf/virtio.go, pkg/vf/vm.go
Adds the usb-xhci device, JSON support, NBD validation helpers, and virtualization-framework configuration wiring.
Storage hotplug manager
pkg/vf/storage_hotplug.go, pkg/vf/storage_hotplug_test.go, pkg/rest/vf/vm_config.go
Adds NBD and raw-disk attachment, device state tracking, concurrency handling, controller integration, and manager tests.
Unix REST storage API
pkg/rest/rest.go, pkg/rest/rest_test.go, pkg/rest/vf/storage.go, pkg/rest/vf/storage_test.go, cmd/vfkit/main.go
Adds Unix-only storage routes, strict request validation, status mapping, redaction, socket permissions, and server wiring.
Runtime usage and integration validation
doc/usage.md, test/vm_helpers.go, test/vm_test.go
Documents runtime storage control and tests raw USB storage attachment, guest I/O, and detachment.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3322e

The PR adds privileged runtime storage control for running VMs. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness because shutdown, restart, interruption, and NBD channel-closure behavior could leave storage state stale or ambiguous until reconciliation is defined.

Poem

A rabbit plugs in a disk with care
Through Unix paths and socket air
NBD states hop, then settle bright
Raw blocks dance through guest I/O light
The XHCI gate now guards the way
