H A D | virtio-net.h | diff 9711cd0dfc3fa414f7f64935713c07134ae67971 Tue Oct 29 06:49:04 CDT 2019 Jens Freimann <jfreimann@redhat.com> net/virtio: add failover support
This patch adds support to handle failover device pairs of a virtio-net device and a (vfio-)pci device, where the virtio-net acts as the standby device and the (vfio-)pci device as the primary.
The general idea is that we have a pair of devices, a (vfio-)pci and a emulated (virtio-net) device. Before migration the vfio device is unplugged and data flows to the emulated device, on the target side another (vfio-)pci device is plugged in to take over the data-path. In the guest the net_failover module will pair net devices with the same MAC address.
To achieve this we need:
1. Provide a callback function for the should_be_hidden DeviceListener. It is called when the primary device is plugged in. Evaluate the QOpt passed in to check if it is the matching primary device. It returns if the device should be hidden or not. When it should be hidden it stores the device options in the VirtioNet struct and the device is added once the VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature is negotiated during virtio feature negotiation.
If the virtio-net devices are not realized at the time the (vfio-)pci devices are realized, we need to connect the devices later. This way we make sure primary and standby devices can be specified in any order.
2. Register a callback for migration status notifier. When called it will unplug its primary device before the migration happens.
3. Register a callback for the migration code that checks if a device needs to be unplugged from the guest.

H A D | virtio-net.c | diff 5a0948d36c4cbc1c5534afac6fee99de55245d12 Sat Nov 30 13:42:21 CST 2019 Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> net/virtio: Fix failover error handling crash bugs
Functions that take an Error ** parameter to pass an error to the caller expect the parameter to point to null. failover_replug_primary() violates this precondition in several places:
* After qemu_opts_from_qdict() failed, *errp is no longer null. Passing it to error_setg() is wrong, and will trip the assertion in error_setv(). Messed up in commit 150ab54aa6 "net/virtio: fix re-plugging of primary device". Simply drop the error_setg().
* Passing @errp to qemu_opt_set_bool(), hotplug_handler_pre_plug(), and hotplug_handler_plug() is wrong. If one of the first two fails, *errp is no longer null. Risks tripping the same assertion. Moreover, continuing after such errors is unsafe. Messed up in commit 9711cd0dfc "net/virtio: add failover support". Fix by handling each error properly.
failover_replug_primary() crashes when passed a null @errp. Also messed up in commit 9711cd0dfc. This bug can't bite as no caller actually passes null. Fix it anyway.
