From: Li Zhijian <lizhijian@cn.fujitsu.com>

Previously, we got a confusion error that complains
the RDMAControlHeader.repeat:
qemu-system-x86_64: rdma: Too many requests in this message (3638950032).Bailing.

Actually, it's caused by an unexpected RDMAControlHeader.type.
After this patch, error will become:
qemu-system-x86_64: Unknown control message QEMU FILE

I'm struggling to see how head is used before we set the type a couple
of lines below. Could you expand on it?

Also, a smoke test could have caught both issues early on. Is there any
reason for not having any?

IIUC, head is used for both common migration control path and RDMA specific control path.

hook_stage(RAM_SAVE_FLAG_HOOK) {
    rdma_hook_process(qemu_rdma_registration_handle) {
       do {
           // this is a RDMA own control block, should not be disturbed by the common migration control path.
           // head will be extracted and processed here.
           // qio_channel_rdma_writev() will send RDMA_CONTROL_QEMU_FILE, which is an unexpected message for this block.
           // head.repeat will be examined before the type, so an uninitialized repeat will confuse us here.
       } while (!RDMA_CONTROL_REGISTER_FINISHED || !error)
    }
}


when qio_channel_rdma_writev() is used for common migration control path, repeat is useless and will not be examined.

With this patch, we can quickly know the cause.

i have no idea yet :)

Ah, right. Somehow I interpreted the commit message as meaning the
'type' field was bogus. But it's the 'repeat' field that causes the
issue. Thanks for the explanation.
