[v4,3/4] libxc: stop migration in case of p2m list structural changes

Commit Message

Juergen Gross Jan. 7, 2016, 12:36 p.m. UTC

With support of the virtual mapped linear p2m list for migration it is
now possible to detect structural changes of the p2m list which before
would either lead to a crashing or otherwise wrong behaving domU.

A guest supporting the linear p2m list will increment the
p2m_generation counter located in the shared info page before and after
each modification of a mapping related to the p2m list. A change of
that counter can be detected by the tools and reacted upon.

As such a change should occur only very rarely once the domU is up the
most simple reaction is to cancel migration in such an event.
