Subject: [RESEND] migration/savevm: Add a compatibility check for capabilities
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 15:42:13 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251007184213.5990-1-farosas@suse.de> (raw)
It has always been possible to enable arbitrary migration capabilities
and attempt to take a snapshot of the VM with the savevm/loadvm
commands as well as their QMP counterparts
snapshot-save/snapshot-load.
Most migration capabilities are not meant to be used with snapshots
and there's a risk of crashing QEMU or producing incorrect
behavior. Ideally, every migration capability would either be
implemented for savevm or explicitly rejected.
Add a compatibility check routine and reject the snapshot command if
an incompatible capability is enabled. For now only act on the the two
that actually cause a crash: multifd and mapped-ram.
