[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 30/32] migration: delay the postcopy-active state


From: Peter Xu
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 30/32] migration: delay the postcopy-active state switch
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:52:14 +0800

Switch the state until we try to start the VM on destination side.  The
problem is that without doing this we may have a very small window that
we'll be in such a state:

- dst VM is in postcopy-active state,
- main thread is handling MIG_CMD_PACKAGED message, which loads all the
  device states,
- ram load thread is reading memory data from source.

Then if we failed at this point when reading the migration stream we'll
also switch to postcopy-paused state, but that is not what we want.  If
device states failed to load, we should fail the migration directly
instead of pause.

Postponing the state switch to the point when we have already loaded the
devices' states and been ready to start running destination VM.
