I wonder how I missed this one or no one noticed. qemu-kvm-0.10.6 does not even try to listen given -incoming option, the option is being ignored completely, guest starts as "normal". 0.10.5 works just fine, as is -88. In changelog there are: - allow monitor interaction when using -incoming exec: (Chris Lalancette) - Honor -S on incoming migration (Paolo Bonzini) But what I do see is that in vl.c, there are two variables named `incoming' -- one global and one in main() which is very large function. This is a sure way to a problem, because it's not at all obvious which variable is used for what... When used with -incoming tcp:0:1234, it creates a listening socket but never ever uses it, at least according to strace.
