Subject: [RFC v2 04/14] virtio-net: detect VirtIODevice status mid-migration change
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:20:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320142015.3856652-5-jonah.palmer@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320142015.3856652-1-jonah.palmer@oracle.com>
This patch introduces the mechanism in which this series will use to
detect VirtIODevice & VirtIONet state deltas, starting with the
VirtIODevice's 'status' member of a virtio-net device.
Before we send the device's state early, we save each piece of its state
in a temporary structure via virtio_net_early_pre_save. Later, once the
source VM has been paused, we compare the current values of those pieces
to what we saved earlier. If any mismatch is found, virtio-net's VMSD
(vmstate_virtio_net) is enabled and resends all state and device prep
work (as it's normally done today when live migrating a virtio-net
device).
Once all relevant delta checks are in place, a no-delta case will skip
vmstate_virtio_net and only resend updated VQ indices.
For this patch, keep a temporary always-true fallback in
virtio_net_has_delta/virtio_net_needed until follow-up patches cover the
remaining VirtIONet & VirtIODevice deltas.
