Hi,
We're seeing failures running s390x migration kvm-unit-tests tests with TCG.
Some initial findings:
What seems to be happening is that after migration a control block header
accessed by the test code is all zeros which causes an unexpected exception.
I did a bisection which points to c8df4a7aef ("migration: Split
save_live_pending() into state_pending_*") as the culprit.
The migration issue persists after applying the fix e264705012 ("migration: I
messed state_pending_exact/estimate") on top of c8df4a7aef.
Applying

on top fixes or hides the issue. (The comparison was removed by c8df4a7aef.)
I arrived at this by experimentation, I haven't looked into why this makes a
difference.
Any thoughts on the matter appreciated.
