migration: prevent migration when VM has poisoned memory
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A memory page poisoned from the hypervisor level is no longer readable.
The migration of a VM will crash Qemu when it tries to read the
memory address space and stumbles on the poisoned page with a similar
stack trace:

Program terminated with signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
#0  _mm256_loadu_si256
#1  buffer_zero_avx2
qemu#2  select_accel_fn
qemu#3  buffer_is_zero
qemu#4  save_zero_page
qemu#5  ram_save_target_page_legacy
qemu#6  ram_save_host_page
qemu#7  ram_find_and_save_block
qemu#8  ram_save_iterate
qemu#9  qemu_savevm_state_iterate
qemu#10 migration_iteration_run
qemu#11 migration_thread
qemu#12 qemu_thread_start

To avoid this VM crash during the migration, prevent the migration
when a known hardware poison exists on the VM.
