[Qemu-devel] virtconsole migration regression from 2.2.0

[Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>]

I'm hitting an error migrating from stock v2.2.0 to git master:

2015-03-24T21:42:07.731317Z qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state for
instance 0x0 of device '0000:00:05.0/virtio-console'
2015-03-24T21:42:07.731392Z qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed:
Invalid argument

I'm using libvirt's managedsave, which is migrate to/from file. I bisected to
this commit:

    virtio-serial: switch to standard-headers

Problem seems to be that the old virtio_console_config structure was
different, missing the emerg_wr field. If I apply this patch:

diff --git a/include/standard-headers/linux/virtio_console.h
b/include/standard-headers/linux/virtio_console.h
index 0dedc9e..242a0c5 100644

-       /* emergency write register */

 } QEMU_PACKED;


My VMs restore correctly. I assume that change isn't acceptable as-is though...

Here's the massive libvirt command line:

I tried to reduce it to a minimal reproducer but I couldn't trigger it, but I
didn't try too long. I can test any proposed fix though.

Thanks,
Cole
