Subject: [PULL 14/18] migration: Enlarge postcopy recovery to capture !-EIO too
Date: Wed,  2 Mar 2022 18:29:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220302182936.227719-15-dgilbert@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220302182936.227719-1-dgilbert@redhat.com>

From: Peter Xu <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.
