------- Comment From xxd...@de.ibm.com 2018-07-30 06:53 EDT-------
Here ist the information I can give immediately:

(a) Ubuntu 16.04.4 KVM hypervisor:
kernel 4.4.0-130-generic
# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using API: QEMU 1.3.1
Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.5.0

(b) Ubuntu 18.04 VM:
kernel 4.15.0-23-generic

I will now do an upgrade (to 18.04.1 ?). But from what I can read about
18.04.1, it does not include a new HWE. Anyway I will test it.

other KVM guests (Ubuntu 16.04.x, RHEL, SLES):
I have to check. Most of them are customer systems, so I don't have a login for 
all of them, but I think I can get access .. just needs some time.

Regarding the platform question:
18.04 guest on 16.04.4 Hypervisor on x86_64: live migration works
18.04 guest on 16.04.4 Hypervisor on ppc64le: live migration fails

Title:
  KVM live migration fails

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Environment:
  2 POWER8 with Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS as KVM hypervisor.
  1 KVM guest with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Virtual disk for the guest is a qcow2 file 
on an NFS share, accessible from both hypervisors, so live migration is 
possible and works for all other guests (SLES, RHEL, Ubunutu 16.04),
  Live migratino of Ubuntu 18.04 guest fails on ppc, while the same test on an 
x86_64 environment suceeds.
