[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] s390x/css: catch section mismatch on load

[Halil Pasic <pasic@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Prior to the virtio-ccw-2.7 machine (and commit 2a79eb1a), our virtio
devices residing under the virtual-css bus do not have qdev_path based
migration stream identifiers (because their qdev_path is NULL). The ids
are instead generated when the device is registered as a composition of
the so called idstr, which takes the vmsd name as its value, and an
instance_id, which is which is calculated as a maximal instance_id
registered with the same idstr plus one, or zero (if none was registered
previously).

That means, under certain circumstances, one device might try, and even
succeed, to load the state of a different device. This can lead to
trouble.

Let us fail the migration if the above problem is detected during load.

How to reproduce the problem:
1) start qemu-system-s390x making sure you have the following devices
   defined on your command line:
     -device virtio-rng-ccw,id=rng1,devno=fe.0.0001
     -device virtio-rng-ccw,id=rng2,devno=fe.0.0002
2) detach the devices and reattach in reverse order using the monitor:
     (qemu) device_del rng1
     (qemu) device_del rng2
     (qemu) device_add virtio-rng-ccw,id=rng2,devno=fe.0.0002
     (qemu) device_add virtio-rng-ccw,id=rng1,devno=fe.0.0001
3) save the state of the vm into a temporary file and quit QEMU:
     (qemu) migrate "exec:gzip -c > /tmp/tmp_vmstate.gz"
     (qemu) q
4) use your command line from step 1 with
     -incoming "exec:gzip -c -d /tmp/tmp_vmstate.gz"
   appended to reproduce the problem (while trying to to load the saved vm)

Hi!

I also wonder what is the best way to do this with vmstate.  I know there
are VMSTATE_*_EQUAL macros for integers, and I have partially modelled my
patch after that, but there we only get a != b as error message, which is
satisfactory for detecting bugs which are supposed to get fixed. In this
particular case having a verbose error message should be really helpful
and thus important.

I'm asking because I'm currently working on a vmstate conversion of the
s390x css and virtio-ccw  stuff (find my latest patch set here
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-05/msg01364.html).

Regards,
Halil
