This prepares ground for the changes coming next which add an Error**

now handle the error and fail earlier setting the migration state from
MIGRATION_STATUS_SETUP to MIGRATION_STATUS_FAILED.

In qemu_savevm_state(), move the cleanup to preserve the error
reported by .save_setup() handlers.

Since the previous behavior was to ignore errors at this step of
migration, this change should be examined closely to check that
cleanups are still correctly done.

   Changes in v4:
- Merged cleanup change in qemu_savevm_state() Changes in v3: - Set migration state to MIGRATION_STATUS_FAILED
   - Fixed error handling to be done under lock in bg_migration_thread()
   - Made sure an error is always set in case of failure in
     qemu_savevm_state_setup()

Otherwise migration_iteration_finish() will schedule the cleanup BH and
that will run concurrently with migrate_fd_cancel() issued by the test
and bad things happens.

This hack makes things work :

Why move it all the way up here? Has moving the wait_unplug before the
'if (ret)' block not worked for you?

       bql_lock();
       ret = qemu_savevm_state_setup(s->to_dst_file, &local_err);
       bql_unlock();

We should fix the test instead :) Unless waiting for failover devices
to unplug before the save_setup handlers and not after is ok.

commit c7e0acd5a3f8 ("migration: add new migration state wait-unplug")
is not clear about the justification.:

      This patch adds a new migration state called wait-unplug.  It is entered
      after the SETUP state if failover devices are present. It will transition
      into ACTIVE once all devices were succesfully unplugged from the guest.

This is not clear indeed, but to me it seems having the wait-unplug
after setup was important.

Finally got some time to read this code..

So far I didn't see an issue if it's called before the setup hooks.
Actually it looks to me it should better do that before those hooks.

IIUC what that qemu_savevm_wait_unplug() does is waiting for all the
primary devices to be completely unplugged before moving on the migration.

Here setup() hook, or to be explicit, the primary devices' VMSDs (if ever
existed, and if that was the concern) should have zero impact on such wait,
because the "unplug" should also contain one step to unregister those
vmsds; see the virtio_net_handle_migration_primary() where it has:

         if (failover_unplug_primary(n, dev)) {
             vmstate_unregister(VMSTATE_IF(dev), qdev_get_vmsd(dev), dev);
             ...
         }

So qemu_savevm_wait_unplug() looks like a pure wait function to me until
all the unplug is processed by the guest OS.  And it makes some sense to me
to avoid calling setup() (which can start to hold resources, like in RAM we
create bitmaps etc to prepare for migration) before such possible long halts.

I think so too now. VFIO is already sending state.


In all cases, I guess it's still too rush to figure out a plan, meanwhile
anything proposed for either test/code changes would better get some
reviews from either Laurent or other virtio-net guys.  I think I'll go
ahead the pull without the 2nd batch of patches.




=====
PS: I guess the next level in our Freestyle Concurrency video-game is to
make migrate_fd_cancel() stop setting state and poking files and only
set a flag that's tested in the other parts of the code.

Is that a new item on the TODO list?

Yep, I'll add it to the wiki.

Sounds like a good thing, however let's be aware of the evils (that are
always in the details..), where there can be users/tests relying on that
"CANCELLING" state, so it can be part of the ABIs.. :-(

That's a good reason to move qemu_savevm_wait_unplug() and avoid breaking
the ABI.

Thanks,

C.
