Subject: [PATCH] tools/migrate: Fix regression when migrating from older version of Xen
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 20:19:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1373483987-32343-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
Commit 00a4b65f8534c9e6521eab2e6ce796ae36037774 Sep 7 2010
"libxc: provide notification of final checkpoint to restore end"
broke migration from any version of Xen using tools from prior to that commit
Older tools have no idea about an XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT, causing newer
tools xc_domain_restore() to start reading the qemu save record, as
ctx->last_checkpoint is 0.
The failure looks like:
xc: error: Max batch size exceeded (1970103633). Giving up.
where 1970103633 = 0x756d6551 = *(uint32_t*)"Qemu"
Sadly, the simple fix of just setting ctx->last_checkpoint = 1 will cause an
opposite function regresson for anyone using the current behaviour of
save_callbacks->checkpoint().
The only safe fix is to rely on the toolstack to provide this information.
Passing 0 results in unchanged behaviour, while passing nonzero means "the
other end of the migration stream does not know about
XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT but is performing a normal migrate"
