Re: [PATCH] tests/migration: Print some debug on bad status

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert]

Hi Jens,
  the unplug failover stuff is triggering an assertion occasionally on
aarch64; but
  a) I'm not sure the right way to fix it
  b) And I'm out for a little over a week

so...

In tests/migration-test.c we've got wait_for_migration_fail, and it's
expecting the state to be any one of:
   setup, failed or maybe active

but it's getting surprised by seeing a 'wait-unplug'

So the question is should we see a wait-unplug?

the migration code has:

    if (qemu_savevm_nr_failover_devices()) {
        migrate_set_state(&s->state, MIGRATION_STATUS_SETUP,
                          MIGRATION_STATUS_WAIT_UNPLUG);

Should qemu_savevm_nr_failover_devices() be true?
On aarch64 it seems to have a virtio-net device by default
and qemu_savevm_nr_failover_devices() checks for devices
having dev_unplug_pending but doesn't call it.

I see two fixes but am not sure which is right:
   a) Add 'wait-unplug' to the wait_for_migration_fail
      (easy)
   b) Actually call dev_unplug_pending in qemu_savevm_nr_failover_devices
      so that on a guest which has a virtio-net, but no failover device,
      the state isn't entered.

I think (b) is better, since we shouldn't be exposing the wait-unplug
event on setups that don't expect it; but I don't understand the unplug
enough to know if this is a safe change.

Thoughts?

Dave
