    migration: incoming postcopy advise sanity checks · 875fcd01
    Greg Kurz 提交于
    If postcopy-ram was set on the source but not on the destination,
    migration doesn't occur, the destination prints an error and boots
    the guest:
    
    qemu-system-ppc64: Expected vmdescription section, but got 0
    
    We end up with two running instances.
    
    This behaviour was introduced in 2.11 by commit 58110f0a "migration:
    split common postcopy out of ram postcopy" to prepare ground for the
    upcoming dirty bitmap postcopy support. It adds a new case where the
    source may send an empty postcopy advise because dirty bitmap doesn't
    need to check page sizes like RAM postcopy does.
    
    If the source has enabled postcopy-ram, then it sends an advise with
    the page size values. If the destination hasn't enabled postcopy-ram,
    then loadvm_postcopy_handle_advise() leaves the page size values on
    the stream and returns. This confuses qemu_loadvm_state() later on
    and causes the destination to start execution.
    
    As discussed several times, postcopy-ram should be enabled both sides
    to be functional. This patch changes the destination to perform some
    extra checks on the advise length to ensure this is the case. Otherwise
    an error is returned and migration is aborted.
