From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

When we're using the subsection we migrate both
the 'props' and 'tso_props' data; when we're not using
the subsection (to migrate to 2.11 or old machine types) we've
got to choose what to migrate in the main structure.

If we're using the subsection migrate 'props' in the main structure.
If we're not using the subsection then migrate the last one
that changed, which gives behaviour similar to the old behaviour.

But only after migration. Why not simply switch back to the old behavior 
if migrate_tso_props if false?

Thanks

Because:
  1) We know it's a broken behaviour so it's better not to unfix it
  2) The fix doesn't change guest visible behaviour other than actually
     sending the right packets; so there's no reason to make the fix
     itself dependent on the machine type.
  3) Gating the fix itself on the flag is actually more complex and
     would need checking the flag in lots of places that are already
     pretty complex, rather than what this does which is just check it
     in one place at migration.

It looks to me it was just something like:

     struct e1000x_txd_props *props = tp->cptse && chkflag(TSO) ? 
&tp->tso_props : &tp->props;

Btw, did this patch work when:

migrate A to B
migrate B to C

But there's no tx during B?

is that the only thing that would change?

Hmm, good question; I only tried it keeping the stream alive during
migration.
Lets see what happens.

For this code to be used we have to be running with an old machine
type/property.
That means A->B will have either come from 2.11 or a 2.12 with this same
patch.
But given patch 2 that duplicates on loading; that means A->B should
end up with B having the same data in both sets of props, and
thus it doesn't matter which set this patch picks.

Looks like and we can avoid using tricks like patch 4.

Yes it is. I think I would agree with your idea now consider it was 
slightly better than using the old behavior.
