During the precopy migration (not sure about others), we do: static void migration_completion(MigrationState *s) { .... ret = vm_stop_force_state(RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE); ... ret = qemu_savevm_state_complete_precopy(s->to_dst_file, false, inactivate); so I think we do have that state there to hook off. > The tables are saved into guest RAM so when need the CPUs and devices to > be stopped but we need the guest RAM to be saved after the ITS save > operation. Yeh so what should happen is that you: a) Iterate RAM a lot b) You stop everything -> Flushes remaining changes into RAM c) Transmit device state and last bits of RAM changes. so that flush should happen at (b).
