migrate_add_blocker() (and the new migrate_add_blocker_internal()) guaranteed
it; it will only succeed if there's no migration, and it should cover both
sides of migration (as I think migration_is_idle() should return true on both
src/dst when there's one):
if (migration_is_idle()) {
migration_blockers = g_slist_prepend(migration_blockers, reason);
return 0;
}
error_propagate_prepend(errp, error_copy(reason),
"disallowing migration blocker "
"(migration in progress) for: ");
return -EBUSY;
That's why I removed the old check on incoming migration:
- if (runstate_check(RUN_STATE_INMIGRATE)) {
- error_setg(errp, "Dump not allowed during incoming migration.");
- return;
- }
Because I think it'll cover that case too.
