[Qemu-devel] [PULL 23/37] virtio: add subsections to the migration stream

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

From: Greg Kurz <address@hidden>

There is a need to add some more fields to VirtIODevice that should be
migrated (broken status, endianness). The problem is that we do not
want to break compatibility while adding a new feature... This issue has
been addressed in the generic VMState code with the use of optional
subsections. As a *temporary* alternative to port the whole virtio
migration code to VMState, this patch mimics a similar subsectionning
ability for virtio, using the VMState code.

Since each virtio device is streamed in its own section, the idea is to
stream subsections between the end of the device section and the start
of the next sections. This allows an older QEMU to complain and exit
when fed with subsections:

Unknown savevm section type 5
load of migration failed
