The bitmap will always have QEMU_MIGRATION_CAP_LAST bits. They can all be zeros, but that will only result in an empty json array if QEMU does not support migration capabilities at all. All supported capabilities will be explicitly disabled and thus the array won't be empty. Even if it was empty, the monitor command is only called when virJSONValueArraySize(caps) > 0. > > VIR_DOMAIN_MIGRATE_MAX_SPEED_POSTCOPY flag, but in that case it should > > only apply migration parameters and ignore capabilities. > > ACK, but the wording is weird. You don't really ignore any caps because > you explicitly reject it. The code is ignoring capabilities when they are all disabled, which is the default state after qemuMigrationParamsNew(). When the caller is not a migration job and it tries to enable any capability, an error is reported as this would be a bug in our code. > I presume the problem is in the fact that if migration is not running > the API does not have efect. > > Obviously v2 required if the problem is actually that the monitor > command is unhappy with empty array as the argument. The actual problem is that the migrate-set-capabilities QMP command can only be called before migration starts and calling it while migration is already running does not make (and it is actually rejected by QEMU). So how about: The qemuMigrationParamsApply internal API was designed to apply all migration parameters and capabilities before we start to migrate a domain. While migration parameters are only passed to QEMU when we explicitly want to set a specific value, capabilities are always either enabled or disabled. Thus when this API is called outside migration job, e.g., via a call to qemuDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed with VIR_DOMAIN_MIGRATE_MAX_SPEED_POSTCOPY flag, we would call migrate-set-capabilities and disable all capabilities. However, changing capabilities while migration is already running does not make sense and our code should never be trying to do so. In fact QEMU even reports an error if migrate-set-capabilities is called during migration and qemuDomainMigrateSetMaxSpeed would fail with: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command migrate-set-capabilities: There's a migration process in progress With this patch qemuMigrationParamsApply never tries to call migrate-set-capabilities outside of migration job. When the capabilities bitmap is all zeros (which is its initial value after qemuMigrationParamsNew), we just skip the command. But when any capability bit is set to 1 by a non-migration job, we report an error to highlight a bug in our code.
