I think the problem is that
migrate_params_check checks a MigrationParameters

while the QMP command gives us a MigrateSetParameters; but we also use
migrate_params_check for the global check you added (8b0b29dc) which is
against migrationParameters; so that's why migrate_params_check takes
a MigrationParameters.

It's horrible we've got stuff duped so much.

Indeed.


However, I don't like this fix because if someone later was to add
a test for tls parameters to migrate_params_check, then they would be
confused why the hostname/creds weren't checked.
So while we have migrate_params_test_apply, it should cover all
parameters.

I think a cleaner check would be to write a MigrateParameters_free
that free'd any strings, and call that in qmp_migrate_set_parameters
on both exit paths.

We already have it; it's named qapi_free_MigrationParameters(),
generated in qapi-types-migration.h.


Thank you all (and sorry for the delay reply due to Chinese New Year :)),
i will use this interface instead in the next version.
