[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] migration: fix crash in when incoming client channel setup fails

["Daniel P. Berrangé" <berrange@redhat.com>]

The way we determine if we can start the incoming migration was
changed to use migration_has_all_channels() in:

  commit 428d89084c709e568f9cd301c2f6416a54c53d6d

    migration: Create migration_has_all_channels

This method in turn calls multifd_recv_all_channels_created()
which is hardcoded to always return 'true' when multifd is
not in use. This is a latent bug...

...activated in in a following commit where that return result
ends up acting as the flag to indicate whether it is possible
to start processing the migration:

  commit 36c2f8be2c4eb0003ac77a14910842b7ddd7337e

    migration: Delay start of migration main routines

This means that if channel initialization fails with normal
migration, it'll never notice and attempt to start the
incoming migration regardless and crash on a NULL pointer.

This can be seen, for example, if a client connects to a server
requiring TLS, but has an invalid x509 certificate:

qemu-system-x86_64: The certificate hasn't got a known issuer
qemu-system-x86_64: migration/migration.c:386: process_incoming_migration_co: Assertion `mis->from_src_file' failed.

 #7  0x0000000000000000 in  ()

To handle the non-multifd case, we check whether mis->from_src_file
is non-NULL. With this in place, the migration server drops the
rejected client and stays around waiting for another, hopefully
valid, client to arrive.

Changed in v2:

 - Clarify exactly when it broke
 - Clarify that we expect the server to stay active
