This would be a very strange behavior.

I still don't see the value in keeping migrate_tls option in qemu.conf.
If we want to check the environment is setup correctly we should check
the certificates are in place rather than relying on the option. The
error reported when migrate_tls is set, but the environment is not
prepared is:
internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'object-add': Unable
to access credentials /etc/pki/qemu/ca-cert.pem: No such file or
directory
Not ideal but at least it names the file which is missing.
In my latest branch I've removed migrate_tls.

The eight patches above are mostly OK except for some small issues.
OK - I will separate them out with the latest adjustments from review
and repost.
But the rest of the series needs more work...

The code should check whether QEMU actually supports TLS migration,
otherwise you will get
internal error: unable to execute QEMU command
'migrate-set-parameters': Invalid parameter 'tls-creds'
Hmm... I see tls-creds added to migrate-set-parameters in 2.7 while
they were added to ChardevSocket in 2.6... Ugh. Have to refresh my
recollection of how to get the answer I need from capabilities.
As I mentioned in my v1 review, we should always set the parameters
if
QEMU supports them to make sure they don't contain any leftovers from a
previous migration.
I see from a quick scan of the qemu code though that it appears as if
the code checks for a non null value being passed:
params->has_tls_creds = !!s->parameters.tls_creds;
params->has_tls_hostname = !!s->parameters.tls_hostname;
So in order to "allow" clearing the tls_creds and tls_hostname, what
would one do? The clearing would be necessary since a target of a
migration will become a source for a migration and the tls-creds object
would be different (using endpoint={server|client}).
This would be the I used TLS on one migration, but not on the next type
operation for the same domain. Doesn't seem we can assume that TLS will
be used for every migration since the desire is to have usage controlled
via API option and not host config option
I also said we should properly clean the TLS stuff
somewhere inside qemuProcessRecoverMigration*. And if we do it in
addition to properly cleaning up everything in the Finish and Confirm
phases, we should not need to store migrateTLS in the status XML. We can
just always do the cleanup if QEMU supports TLS migration.
Anyway, TLS migration doesn't work even if it is properly configured:
operation failed: migration job: unexpectedly failed
And the destination QEMU log contains:
qemu-system-x86_64: No TLS credentials with id 'objmigrate_tls0'
The reason is an interesting flow of QMP commands issued by libvirt
during the Prepare phase:
{
"execute": "object-add",
"arguments": {
"qom-type": "tls-creds-x509",
"id": "objmigrate_tls0",
"props": {
"dir": "/etc/pki/libvirt",
"endpoint": "server",
"verify-peer": false
}
},
"id": "libvirt-21"
}
{
"execute": "migrate-set-parameters",
"arguments": {
"tls-creds": "objmigrate_tls0"
},
"id": "libvirt-26"
}
{
"execute": "migrate-incoming",
"arguments": {
"uri": "tcp:[::]:49152"
},
"id": "libvirt-27"
}
{
"execute": "object-del",
"arguments": {
"id": "objmigrate_tls0"
},
"id": "libvirt-28"
}
The error reported after you deleted the objmigrate_tls0 object doesn't
seem to confirm your idea about migration parameters begin unset when
the object is removed.
OK - well obviously there's still quite a bit for me to understand about
the migration model.
Please, test your series before you send a new version of it.
Yep - something I noted in my cover letter - the need for a test
environment... Hopefully I'll find a kind soul that will allow me to
have access to an already configured environment to test with...
