could you provide a bit more detailed description of the problem
including command line+used device_add commands on source and
command line on destination?

-------I just migrate guest vm. The guest has vhost-user net. Vhost-user has a 
limit of slots

 (VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS=8),hotplug memory (dimm) can increase vhost used 
slots

,but vhost can merge region to decrease vhost used slots.

Before migration guset has hotplugged  several dimms one by one (more than 
vhost slot limit,

but after merging it less than  vhost slot limit). In migrating to destination 
host ,qemu begins to 

execute restore guest and it realize  foreach  dimms device at a time and 


compute whether vhost used slots more than vhost slot limit before merging.


So report "a used vhost backend has no free  memory slots left".


I just make a distinction using a vm state.
