The postcopy-recover migration state in QEMU means a connection for the migration stream was established. Depending on the schedulers on both hosts a relative timing of the corresponding MIGRATION event on the source host and the destination host may differ. Specifically it's possible that the source sees postcopy-recover while the destination is still in postcopy-paused. Currently the Perform phase on the source host ends when we get postcopy-recover event and the Finish phase on the destination host is called. If this is fast enough we can still see postcopy-paused state when the Finish phase starts waiting for migration to complete. This is interpreted as a failure and reported back to the caller. Even though the recovery may actually start just a few moments later. To avoid this race we now don't consider post-copy migration active in postcopy-recover state and keep waiting for postcopy-active event (in the success path). Thus the Finish phase is entered only after the migration switches to postcopy-active. In this state QEMU guarantees the destination already switched at least to postcopy-recover and we won't be confused be seeing an old postcopy-failed state. https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-73085 Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com
Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
