[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-pci: Fix cross-version migration with older


From: Maxime Coquelin
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-pci: Fix cross-version migration with older machines
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 13:52:37 +0100

This patch fixes a cross-version migration regression introduced
by commit d1b4259f ("virtio-bus: Plug devices after features are
negotiated").

The problem is encountered when host's vhost backend does not support
VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, and migration is initiated from a v2.7 or prior
machine with virtio-pci modern capabilities enabled to a v2.8 machine.

In this case, modern capabilities get exposed to the guest by the source,
whereas the target will detect version 1 is not supported so will only
expose legacy capabilities.

The problem is fixed by introducing a new "x-modern-broken" property,
which is set in v2.7 and prior compatibility modes. Doing this, v2.7
machine keeps its broken behaviour (enabling modern while version is
not supported), and newer machines will behave correctly.

I'm not sure about the property name, let me know if you have better ideas.
I didn't tested migration yet, but I wanted to share the patch while I test it.
I tested booting v2.8 and v2.7 machines with !VERSION_1 and get expected result:
 - v2.8: Virtio-pci probe succeed
 - v2.7: Virtio-pci probe fails

Thanks,
Maxime
