QEMU 2.4 broke the migration of old pseries machine with the addition
of configuration sections, which are sent unconditionally.
This series fixes the issue by allowing the configuration sections to be
made optional with a machine property.
This approach is an alternative to simply skipping configuration for older
machines (as it done for x86): it allows QEMU to accept incoming migration
of older pseries with or without the configuration section. So it fixes
migration from QEMU 2.3 without breaking QEMU 2.4.

Since QEMU 2.4, the migration stream begins with a configuration section.
It is known to break migration of pseries machine from older QEMU. It is
possible to fix this in the pseries compat code but it will then break
migration of old pseries from latest QEMU.
As an alternative, this patch introduces a new machine property which
allows to ignore the abscence of configuration section during incoming
migration. It boils to adding:
-machine config-section=off
Using this property only makes sense when migrating from an older
QEMU. It has no effect on outgoing migration.

Use the config_section machine property to fix migration
of older pseries started with an older QEMU (version < 2.4
for both).
Older machines started with QEMU 2.4 are not affected by
this change since they send the configuration section
unconditionally.

I think this is not true: migrating a pseries-2.3 machine from a
qemu-2.4 to a qemu-2.3 must not send the configuration section because
the qemu-2.3 will not be able to decode it.

I did not mind to also fix backward compatibility... is it mandatory ?

I don't know, but as a user I would like to be able to do that (and it
is possible in the other cases).
And I think the fix could be smaller: something like just setting
"savevm_state.skip_configuration" to the value of "config-section".

I fully agree backward migration is cool and we should not break it if
possible.
The situation is bit different here: QEMU 2.4 broke migration both ways for
pseries-2.3 => all QEMU versions that were released since then (2.4/2.4.1/2.5)
are ultimately incompatible with QEMU 2.3 and this cannot be fixed.
What we may try to achieve is that QEMU 2.6 can accept incoming migration
of pseries-2.3 from QEMU 2.3 (without configuration section) and from
QEMU 2.4/2.5 (with configuration section).
This is what this series does, without the need for the user to actually pass
config-section=off thanks to patch 2.

Not so simple is the word indeed... if we do this, a pseries-2.3 machine
started with config-section=off can only be migrated back to QEMU 2.3 since
QEMU 2.4/2.4.1/2.5 want the config section... is this what you want ? If yes,
then an even simpler fix is:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg01738.html
We can either fix forward migration for all QEMU versions with this series,
or fix backward migration to QEMU-2.3. Not both.
What is the most important ?

Yes, I agree with you, but if you pass the parameter from the QEMU
monitor you can pass it when you want to migrate the machine (if needed).
In fact, my opinion is not really important here, but we need the one
from David Gilbert or Juan.

Indeed... maybe it is acceptable when the user knows about the QEMU version
on the target host. Is it something that could be handled by libvirt ?

Yeah definitely. And FWIW, this patch was suggested by Dave Gilbert:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg02639.html
On the other hand, Dave Gibson agrees to break compatibility with
QEMU 2.4/2.5 if we assume pseries-2.3 are mostly QEMU 2.3 based:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg02963.html
And your suggestion which should allow migration to/from all previous
releases, at the cost of some extra complexity for users.
I cannot decide which is less bad...

Hi Greg,
So I'm mostly OK with this, but please change it to:
'require-config-section' and the bool similarly.
We've effectively got 2 separate things:
a) Whether a config section is sent
b) Whether a config section is required upon reception
I want to make sure the naming makes it obvious which is being changed,
and you're only affecting (b).
Dave

I dont think we do anything like this at the moment, however if you actually
did make this machine property influence whether you sent a configuration
(opposite to my previous reply!), then I think you could do:
qom-set /machine config-section off
before migration.
However, you would have to teach all the tooling to do that, and I don't
think we've got anything that would do it at the moment.

Yes, I guess that's what Laurent was suggesting in his previous mail.
Does this call for another machine option to be able to not send the
configuration section (the (a) case in your other mail) ?

Especially the tooling should know about the target QEMU to decide if
a configuration section must be sent or not...
