We change the restoration priority of both the GICv3 and ITS. The
GICv3 must be restored before the ITS and the ITS needs to be restored
before PCIe devices since it translates their MSI transactions.

We typically observe the virtio-pci-net device sending MSI transactions
very early (even before the first vcpu run) which looks weird. It
appears that not servicing those transactions cause the virtio-pci-net
to stall.

v1 -> v2:
- handle case where migrate_add_blocker fails
- add comments along with ITS and GICv3 migration priorities

This does seem rather weird and worth closer investigation.
A stopped VM ought IMHO to be completely stopped, not still
doing things...

unmigratable = false is the default, so we can just delete the line.

I think we should specifically say that it's the host kernel
that doesn't support ITS migration (ie not QEMU that's missing
support).

The GICv3 uses the message
 "This operating system kernel does not support vGICv3 migration"
which is slightly odd phrasing but I guess we should follow that.

Yes I will take time to investigate what does happen.

Sure I will use that message.

Thank you for the review

After further investigations, here is what I observe:

Between the "running" vm_change_state_handler and the 1st
KVM_RUN I observe virtio_notify_config that calls
msix_notify(). This eventually attempts to inject an MSI.
This looks valid as the VM is in its running state.

Unfortunately the VGIC gets its final init stage, map_resources(),
executed on the first KVM_RUN. Until that point
no MMIO access can be performed. This looks the bad part to me.
So at the moment I trigger a map_resources() at the end of the ITS table
flush and that works.

If I don't do that, the virtio-net based network is not functional
on restore path.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks

Eric
