[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/migrate: Fix regression when migrating from older version of Xen

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Commit 00a4b65f8534c9e6521eab2e6ce796ae36037774 Sep 7 2010
  "libxc: provide notification of final checkpoint to restore end"
broke migration from any version of Xen using tools from prior to that commit

Older tools have no idea about an XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT, causing newer
tools xc_domain_restore() to start reading the qemu save record, as
ctx->last_checkpoint is 0.

The failure looks like:
  xc: error: Max batch size exceeded (1970103633). Giving up.
where 1970103633 = 0x756d6551 = *(uint32_t*)"Qemu"

Sadly, the simple fix of just setting ctx->last_checkpoint = 1 will cause an
opposite function regresson for anyone using the current behaviour of
save_callbacks->checkpoint().

The only safe fix is to rely on the toolstack to provide this information.

Passing 0 results in unchanged behaviour, while passing nonzero means "the
other end of the migration stream does not know about
XC_SAVE_ID_LAST_CHECKPOINT but is performing a normal migrate"
