[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] Postcopy+spice: Pass spice migration data earlier

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Spice hooks the migration status changes to figure out when to
transmit information to the new spice server; but the migration
status in postcopy doesn't quite fit - the destination starts
running before the end of the source migration.

It's not a case of hanging off the migration status change to
postcopy-active either, since that happens before we stop the
guest CPU.

Fix it by sending a notify just after sending the device state,
and adding a flag that can be tested by the notify receiver.

Symptom:
   spice handover doesn't work with the error:
   red_worker.c:11540:display_channel_wait_for_migrate_data: timeout
