Subject: migration/savevm: Add a compatibility check for capabilities
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=112b55f0b012d00a50befc8e1aa4abe350f00b01;p=thirdparty%2Fqemu.git

migration/savevm: Add a compatibility check for capabilities

It has always been possible to enable arbitrary migration capabilities
and attempt to take a snapshot of the VM with the savevm/loadvm
commands as well as their QMP counterparts
snapshot-save/snapshot-load.

Most migration capabilities are not meant to be used with snapshots
and there's a risk of crashing QEMU or producing incorrect
behavior. Ideally, every migration capability would either be
implemented for savevm or explicitly rejected.

Add a compatibility check routine and reject the snapshot command if
an incompatible capability is enabled. For now only act on the the two
that actually cause a crash: multifd and mapped-ram.
