Restoring a snapshot can break a suspended guest. Snapshots suffer from
the same suspended-state issues that affect live migration, plus they must
handle an additional problematic scenario, which is that a running vm must
remain running if it loads a suspended snapshot. Currently, after loading
such a snapshot, the vm_start fails. The runstate is RUNNING, but the guest
is not.
To save, the vm_stop call now completely stops the suspended state, courtesy
of a recent patch. Finish with vm_resume to leave the vm in the state it had
prior to the save, correctly restoring the suspended state.
To load, if the snapshot is not suspended, then vm_stop + vm_resume
correctly handles all states, and leaves the vm in the state it had prior
to the load. However, if the snapshot is suspended, restoration is
trickier. First, call vm_resume to restore the state to suspended so the
current state matches the saved state. Then, if the pre-load state is
running, call wakeup to resume running.
Prior to these changes, the vm_stop to RUN_STATE_SAVE_VM and
RUN_STATE_RESTORE_VM did not change runstate if the current state was
paused, suspended, or prelaunch, but now it does, so allow these
transitions.
