Subject: [PATCH mlx5-next 2/7] vfio: Add an API to check migration state
transition validity

From: Yishai Hadas <yishaih@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add an API in the core layer to check migration state transition validity
as part of a migration flow.

The valid transitions follow the expected usage as described in
uapi/vfio.h and triggered by QEMU.

This ensures that all migration implementations follow a consistent
migration state machine.

Do we need to allow _RESUMING state here or not? As per the "State
transitions"
section from uapi/linux/vfio.h,
It looks like we missed this state transition.

Thanks

I'm not sure this state transition is valid.

Kirti, When we would like to move from RUNNING to RESUMING ?

I guess it depends on what you report as your dev default state.

For HiSilicon ACC migration driver, we set the default to _RUNNING.

And when the migration starts, the destination side Qemu, set the
device state to _RESUMING(vfio_load_state()).

From the documentation, it looks like the assumption on default state of
the VFIO dev is _RUNNING.


That's right. in QEMU VFIO device state at init is running to maintain backward compatibility since migration support was added later.

RUNNING -> RESUMING state transition is valid.

Thanks,
Kirti

"
* 001b => Device running, which is the default state
"


Sameerali, can you please re-test and update if you see this transition ?

Yes. And if I change the default state to _STOP, then the transition
is from _STOP --> _RESUMING.

But the documentation on State transitions doesn't have _STOP --> _RESUMING
transition as valid.

Thanks,
Shameer




" * 4. To start the resuming phase, the device state should be transitioned
from
* the _RUNNING to the _RESUMING state."

IIRC, I have seen that transition happening on the destination dev while
testing the
HiSilicon ACC dev migration.

Thanks,
Shameer
