From cfa096accd51fe9b1dfa9693ce6f4628a4e83fe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:06:35 +0200 Subject: migration: notify migration state before starting thread RH-Author: Stefan Hajnoczi Message-id: <1376384797-4701-5-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 53209 O-Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] migration: notify migration state before starting thread Bugzilla: 995030 RH-Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek RH-Acked-by: Kevin Wolf RH-Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin The migration thread runs outside the QEMU global mutex when possible. Therefore we must notify migration state change *before* starting the migration thread. This allows registered listeners to act before live migration iterations begin. Therefore they can get into a state that allows for live migration. When the migration thread starts everything will be ready. Without this patch there is a race condition during migration setup, depending on whether the migration thread has already transitioned from SETUP to ACTIVE state.
