I'd like to understand more about when exactly this happens.
migration.c:migration_thread in the last step, takes the iothread, puts
the runstate into RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE and only then calls
qemu_savevm_state_complete
before unlocking the iothread.
If that's true, how does this problem happen - can the net code
still receive packets with the iothread lock taken?
qemu_savevm_state_complete does a call to the RAM code, so I think this should
get
any RAM changes that happened before the lock was taken.
I'm gently worried about threading stuff as well - is all this net code
running off fd handlers on the main thread or are there separate threads?
