Subject: [PATCH] vfio/migration: Skip log_sync during migration SETUP state
Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2023 16:00:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230403130000.6422-1-avihaih@nvidia.com> (raw)
Currently, VFIO log_sync can be issued while migration is in SETUP
state. However, doing this log_sync is at best redundant and at worst
can fail.
Redundant -- all RAM is marked dirty in migration SETUP state and is
transferred only after migration is set to ACTIVE state, so doing
log_sync during migration SETUP is pointless.
Can fail -- there is a time window, between setting migration state to
SETUP and starting dirty tracking by RAM save_live_setup handler, during
which dirty tracking is still not started. Any VFIO log_sync call that
is issued during this time window will fail. For example, this error can
be triggered by migrating a VM when a GUI is active, which constantly
calls log_sync.
Fix it by skipping VFIO log_sync while migration is in SETUP state.
Fixes: 758b96b61d5c ("vfio/migrate: Move switch of dirty tracking into vfio_memory_listener")
