This simple change allows to test failover with a simulated device like e1000e rather than a vfio device.
This is interesting to developers that want to test failover on a system with no vfio device. Moreover it simplifies host networking configuration as we can use the same bridge for virtio-net and the other failover networking device. Without this change the migration of a system configured with failover fails with: Unknown ramblock "0000:00:01.1:00.0/e1000e.rom", cannot accept migration error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'ram' load of migration failed: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lviv...@redhat.com> --- hw/net/virtio-net.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/hw/net/virtio-net.c b/hw/net/virtio-net.c index 16d20cdee52a..8f7735bad4f2 100644 --- a/hw/net/virtio-net.c +++ b/hw/net/virtio-net.c @@ -3256,6 +3256,9 @@ static void virtio_net_handle_migration_primary(VirtIONet *n, MigrationState *s) if (migration_in_setup(s) && !should_be_hidden) { if (failover_unplug_primary(n, dev)) { vmstate_unregister(VMSTATE_IF(dev), qdev_get_vmsd(dev), dev); + if (PCI_DEVICE(dev)->has_rom) { + vmstate_unregister_ram(&PCI_DEVICE(dev)->rom , dev); + } qapi_event_send_unplug_primary(dev->id); qatomic_set(&n->failover_primary_hidden, true); } else { -- 2.31.1
