Hi, Tianyu,
I am testing your V2 patch set in our environment, while facing two issues
now. Have a workaround for the first one and hope you could share some light
on the second one :-)
1. Mismatch for ram_block (Have a workaround)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is the error message on the destination:
qemu-system-x86_64: Length mismatch: : 0x3000 in != 0x4000: Invalid argument
qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device
'ram'
qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed: Invalid argument
With the following command line on source and destination respectively:
git/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4
--nographic -drive file=/root/nfs/rhel.img,format=raw,cache=none -device
vfio-sriov,host=0000:03:10.0
git/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4
--nographic -drive file=/root/nfs/rhel.img,format=raw,cache=none -device
vfio-sriov,host=0000:03:10.0 --incoming tcp:0:4444
By some debugging, the reason for this error is the ram_block->idstr of
pass-through MMIO region is not set.
My workaround is to add vmstate_register_ram() in vfio_mmap_region() after
memory_region_init_ram_ptr() returns.
I think this is not a good solution, since the ram_block->idstr is coded
with the VF's BDF. So I guess this will not work when the VF has different BDF
from source to destination respectively.
Maybe my test step is not correct?
2. Failed to migrate the MAC address
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By adding some code in VF's driver in destination guest, I found the MAC
information has been migrated to destination in adapter->hw.mac. While this is
"reset" by VF's driver, when ixgbevf_migration_task is invoked at the end of
the migration process.
Below is what I have printed:
The ifconfig output from destination:
eth8 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:81:39:F2
inet addr:9.31.210.106 Bcast:9.31.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fe81:39f2/64 Scope:Link

TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:21840 (21.3 KiB) TX bytes:920 (920.0 b)
The log message I printed in destination's VF driver:
ixgbevf: migration end --
ixgbevf: original mac:52:54:00:81:39:f2
ixgbevf: after reset mac:52:54:00:92:04:a3
ixgbevf: migration end ==
I didn't take a close look in the "reset" function, while seems it retrieves
the mac from VF hardware. Hmm... is there some possible way to have the same
mac on both source and destination?
At last, I appreciated all your work and help, learned much from your side.
