[PATCH V1] migration: cpr breaks SNP guest
Posted by Steve Sistare 4 days, 18 hours ago 
With aux-ram-share=off, booting an SNP guest fails with:

  ../util/error.c:68: error_setv: Assertion `*errp == NULL' failed.

This is because a CPR blocker for the guest_memfd ramblock is added
twice, once in ram_block_add_cpr_blocker because aux-ram-share=off so
rb->fd < 0, and once in ram_block_add for a specific guest_memfd blocker.

To fix, add the guest_memfd blocker iff a generic one would not be
added by ram_block_add_cpr_blocker.

Fixes: 094a3dbc55df ("migration: ram block cpr blockers")

Can we avoid having two instances of the same condition that will need
to be kept in sync? What about:

/*
 * Preserving guest_memfd may be sufficient for CPR, but it has not
 * been tested yet.
 */
if (ram_is_cpr_compatible(new_block)) {
...

Sure, that is better. I will send V2 shortly.

SNP guest launch works for me with this fix. Thanks, Steve!
