This patch improves the resilience of the load_vmstate() function, doing
further and better ordered tests.
This patch broke restoring not-running VMs using libvirt-0.8.7 with qemu-0.14:
When the domain is not running while taking a snpshot, the sn.vm_state_size
== 0:
[...]
Previously the qcow2 image was still reverted to the old state, so on the next
start of the domain the qcow2 image would be in the state of the snapshot
[...]
Now the qcow2 image is not reverted and when the domain is started, it is NOT
in the state of the snapshot.
I can't decide if this regression is an Qemu bug or libvirt should be adapted
to this new behavior.
Ouch. I wouldn't have expected that libvirt relies on this qemu bug.
When libvirt doesn't use the VM state but boots a fresh VM, it should
call qemu-img snapshot -a for the disks rather than using the loadvm
monitor command.
Libvirt should be using 'qemu-img snapshot -a' before reverting to a
snapshot made via 'qemu-img snapshot -c'; I'm writing the patch now.
