Subject: [PATCH v2 10/25] migration: Enlarge postcopy recovery to capture !-EIO too
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 16:39:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220301083925.33483-11-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220301083925.33483-1-peterx@redhat.com>
We used to have quite a few places making sure -EIO happened and that's the
only way to trigger postcopy recovery. That's based on the assumption that
we'll only return -EIO for channel issues.
It'll work in 99.99% cases but logically that won't cover some corner cases.
One example is e.g. ram_block_from_stream() could fail with an interrupted
network, then -EINVAL will be returned instead of -EIO.
I remembered Dave Gilbert pointed that out before, but somehow this is
overlooked. Neither did I encounter anything outside the -EIO error.
However we'd better touch that up before it triggers a rare VM data loss during
live migrating.
To cover as much those cases as possible, remove the -EIO restriction on
triggering the postcopy recovery, because even if it's not a channel failure,
we can't do anything better than halting QEMU anyway - the corpse of the
process may even be used by a good hand to dig out useful memory regions, or
the admin could simply kill the process later on.
