[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] migration: allow to suppress configuration section submission

[Greg Kurz]

Since the addition of the configuration section in QEMU 2.4, it is impossible
to migrate a pseries-2.3 machine back to QEMU 2.3.

This patch makes it possible thanks to a new machine property which allows to
disable configuration section submission.

To disable submission, just add:

-machine suppress-config-section=on

Alternatively, if the target QEMU version isn't known at startup, this can
be done later from the QEMU monitor with:

qom-set /machine suppress-config-section on

This property won't be automatically set for pseries-2.3 because it would
then break backward migration to QEMU 2.4. If automatic behaviour is needed,
it is up to the tooling to handle this.
