Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tests/migration: Factor out per-process launch and setup helpers
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 21:00:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709130032.58667-2-phind.uet@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709130032.58667-1-phind.uet@gmail.com>
From: Nguyen Dinh Phi <phind.uet@gmail.com>
migrate_start() always spawned source and destination together, and
migrate_start_set_capabilities() required both QTestState pointers at
once. This coupling prevents launching a third QEMU instance or
re-configuring an existing destination as a new source.
Split the logic into three public helpers:
migrate_launch_source() / migrate_launch_dest()
Spawn a single QEMU process and record its serial file path on
the returned QTestState.
migrate_setup_instance()
Register the event callback and apply migration capabilities to
one already-running process. Can be called again to re-wire the
same process for a different role.
migrate_start() is kept for backward compatibility and now delegates
to these helpers internally.
