Jiri Denemark a71985f6f3 qemu_migration: Do not consider post-copy active in postcopy-recover
The postcopy-recover migration state in QEMU means a connection for the
migration stream was established. Depending on the schedulers on both
hosts a relative timing of the corresponding MIGRATION event on the
source host and the destination host may differ. Specifically it's
possible that the source sees postcopy-recover while the destination is
still in postcopy-paused.

Currently the Perform phase on the source host ends when we get
postcopy-recover event and the Finish phase on the destination host is
called. If this is fast enough we can still see postcopy-paused state
when the Finish phase starts waiting for migration to complete. This is
interpreted as a failure and reported back to the caller. Even though
the recovery may actually start just a few moments later.

To avoid this race we now don't consider post-copy migration active in
postcopy-recover state and keep waiting for postcopy-active event (in
the success path). Thus the Finish phase is entered only after the
migration switches to postcopy-active. In this state QEMU guarantees the
destination already switched at least to postcopy-recover and we won't
be confused be seeing an old postcopy-failed state.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
