Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179678 When migrating with storage, libvirt iterates over domain disks and instruct qemu to migrate the ones we are interested in (shared, RO and source-less disks are skipped). The disks are migrated in series. No new disk is transferred until the previous one hasn't been quiesced. This is checked on the qemu monitor via 'query-jobs' command. If the disk has been quiesced, it practically went from copying its content to mirroring state, where all disk writes are mirrored to the other side of migration too. Having said that, there's one inherent error in the design. The monitor command we use reports only active jobs. So if the job fails for whatever reason, we will not see it anymore in the command output. And this can happen fairly simply: just try to migrate a domain with storage. If the storage migration fails (e.g. due to ENOSPC on the destination) we resume the host on the destination and let it run on partly copied disk. The proper fix is what even the comment in the code says: listen for qemu events instead of polling. If storage migration changes state an event is emitted and we can act accordingly: either consider disk copied and continue the process, or consider disk mangled and abort the migration.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
