The live migration solution relies on the vfio_device_migration_info protocol. The structure vfio_device_migration_info is placed at the 0th offset of the VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_MIGRATION region to get and set VFIO device related migration information. Field accesses from this structure are only supported at their native width and alignment. Otherwise, the result is undefined and vendor drivers should return an error.
(1).The driver framework is based on vfio_pci_register_dev_region() of vfio-pci, and then a new live migration region is added, and the live migration is realized through the ops of this region.
(2).In order to ensure the compatibility of the devices before and after the migration, the device compatibility information check will be performed in the Pre-copy stage. If the check fails, an error will be returned and the source VM will exit the migration function.
(3).After the compatibility check is passed, it will enter the Stop-and-copy stage. At this time, all the live migration data will be copied, and then saved to the VF device of the destination, and then the VF device of the destination will be started and the VM of the source will be exited.
