[PATCH v1 13/24] s390/vfio-ap: Transition guest migration state from STOP to STOP_COPY

From: Anthony Krowiak

Date: Wed Mar 25 2026 - 17:04:41 EST


The transition of the guest migration state from VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_STOP to
VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_STOP_COPY begins the process of saving the
vfio device state. The vfio device state is comprised of the guest's
AP configuration which specifies the adapters, domains and control
domains to which the guest will be given access.

To begin the process of saving the vfio device state, the VFIO AP device
driver will:

1. Allocate an object in which to store the guest's AP configuration
information comprised of the APQN and hardware information for each
queue passed through to the source guest.

2. Opens a file stream that will be used to read the AP configuration
stored with the object created in #1. The AP configuration will be read
from this file stream when the guest is resumed on the target system to
verify that the AP configuration of the source and target guests are
compatible.
