It will take some time which from MIG_STATE_COMPLETED to the migration thread resources are recovered. If we cancel the migration at this moment, the migrate_fd_cancel function will break directly without reporting error code. Then, libvirt considers the cancle operation a success, contrary facts.
There is no error, once migration is completed you can still shutdown on the destination and continue on the source. Libvirt should either:
1) poll with "query-migrate" after migrate_cancel, and report an error there if it's the desired semantics;
2) toggle a "cancelled" flag before asking QEMU to cancel migration, check it in the migration functions after "query-migrate" reported completion; if it is true, do not resume on the destination.
Another reason for doing it in libvirt is that the serialization between cancellation and completion of migration ultimately is controlled by libvirt's lock. Doing this in QEMU makes it harder to reason about concurrency.
