migration, xen: Fix block image lock issue on live migration
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When doing a live migration of a Xen guest with libxl, the images for
block devices are locked by the original QEMU process, and this prevent
the QEMU at the destination to take the lock and the migration fail.

>From QEMU point of view, once the RAM of a domain is migrated, there is
two QMP commands, "stop" then "xen-save-devices-state", at which point a
new QEMU is spawned at the destination.

Release locks in "xen-save-devices-state" so the destination can takes
them, if it's a live migration.

This patch add the "live" parameter to "xen-save-devices-state" which
default to true so older version of libxenlight can work with newer
version of QEMU.
