In our current code, when multifd is used during migration, if there
is an error before the destination receives all new channels, the
source keeps running, however the destination does not exit but keeps
waiting until the source is killed deliberately.

Fix this by dumping the specific error and let users decide whether
to quit from the destination side when failing to receive packet via
some channel.

Here, we return false without setting an error.
I am not sure whether I understand correctly, but here I think the above
error_propagate_prepend() set the error to errp.
You're right, I got confused.

However, you shouldn't access @local_err after error_propagate() or
similar.  Please insert error_propagate_prepend() after
multifd_recv_terminate_threads(), lik you do in the next hunk.
Right, thanks for the reminder.

Have a nice day :)

yes.
Taken together, there are three cases:

1. Succeed and return true
Yes, when all multifd channels are correctly received.
2. Succeed and return false
Yes, when the current multifd channel is received correctly, but
have not received all the channels.
Aha.

3. Fail (set an error) and return false.
Yes. And with the propagated error, the code just returns and
report the error in migration_channel_process_incoming().
Assuming that's what we want: please update the function comment to
spell them out.
Ok, I will update the three cases in the comment to clarify in detail.

Have a nice day, thanks :)
You're welcome!
