This timer is a part of the QEMU state, which was configured for this exact running instance, not for the guest. Moreover, we have switched to new guest state which can be on the different CPU with different timings etc and thus we should let the guest to run for some time. In the perfect world you should not save the time to the migration state but save the time at reset callback and restore it here at postload, but this seems over engineering. Statistics delivery is "best effort", nobody will die if one shot will be missed.

Restarting timer to new policy is fine 2) restart with the remaining timeout of previous timer For me 1) is fine, though... Den
