When running the xen-save-devices-state QMP command, if the filename already exists it will be truncated before dumping the devices' state into it.
Signed-off-by: Dov Murik <dovmu...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- Note that I found the above issue while trying to debug xen-load-devices-state which simply fails (prints "Configuration section missing" to stderr) directly after xen-save-devices-state (in the same VM). I wonder if I should file a bug report as-is or investigate some more. Advice welcome. -Dov --- migration/savevm.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/migration/savevm.c b/migration/savevm.c index 304d98ff78..e1b26672cc 100644 --- a/migration/savevm.c +++ b/migration/savevm.c @@ -2803,7 +2803,8 @@ void qmp_xen_save_devices_state(const char *filename, bool has_live, bool live, vm_stop(RUN_STATE_SAVE_VM); global_state_store_running(); - ioc = qio_channel_file_new_path(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0660, errp); + ioc = qio_channel_file_new_path(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, + 0660, errp); if (!ioc) { goto the_end; } -- 2.20.1
