Were you actually able to get the EPIPE error except for seeing it in the logs? What I'm trying to say is: if we get an EPIPE in qemuMigrationIOFunc, we close data->sock which will propagate to the source QEMU and qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion should return a "migration unexpectedly failed" error, which will get stored in orig_err and even though qemuMigrationStopTunnel will set the thread local error to the one from iothread->data, we will reset it back to the orig_err one. Only in case qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion returned success but we still got error on the tunnel, we'd actually see the error from iothread->err. Otherwise the patch looks fine.
