At the moment the following QEMU command line triggers an assertion
failure (minimal reproducer by Cole):
qemu-system-aarch64 \
-machine virt-2.6,accel=tcg \
-nodefaults \
-no-user-config \
-nographic -monitor stdio \
-device virtio-scsi-device,id=scsi0 \

qemu-system-aarch64: migration/savevm.c:615:
vmstate_register_with_alias_id:
Assertion `!se->compat || se->instance_id == 0' failed.
The reason is that the vmstate sections for the two scsi-hd devices are
not uniquely identifiable by name.
The direct parent buses of the scsi-hd devices -- scsi0.0 and scsi1.0 --
support the BusClass.get_dev_path member function. scsibus_get_dev_path()
formats a device path prefix with the help of its topologically parent
bus, and then appends the chan🆔lun triplet to it. For both scsi-hd
devices, this triplet is 0:0:0.
(Here we use "device path" in the QEMU migration sense, for vmstate
section identification, not in the OFW or UEFI device path senses.)
The virtio-scsi HBA is plugged into the virtio-mmio bus (implemented by
the internal VirtIOMMIOProxy device). This bus class
(TYPE_VIRTIO_MMIO_BUS) inherits, as its get_dev_path() member function,
the virtio_bus_get_dev_path() method from its parent class
(TYPE_VIRTIO_BUS).
virtio_bus_get_dev_path() does not format any kind of device address on
its own; "virtio addresses" are transport-specific. Therefore
virtio_bus_get_dev_path() asks the topologically parent bus of the proxy
object (implementing the specific virtio transport) to format the address
of the proxy object.
(For virtio-pci devices (where the proxy is an instance of VirtIOPCIProxy,
plugged into a PCI bus), this ends up in pcibus_get_dev_path().)
However, VirtIOMMIOProxy is usually (in practice: always) plugged into
"main-system-bus", the singleton TYPE_SYSTEM_BUS object. This BusClass
does not support formatting QEMU vmstate device paths at all (as
SysBusDevice objects can have zero or more IO ports and zero or more MMIO
regions). Hence the formatting request delegated from
virtio_bus_get_dev_path() gets answered with NULL.
The end result is that the two scsi-hd devices end up with the same device
path "0:0:0", which triggers the assert.
We can solve this by recognizing that virtio-mmio transports are
distinguished from each other by their base addresses in MMIO address
space. Implement virtio_mmio_bus_get_dev_path() as follows:
(1) The virtio device whose devpath is to be formatted resides on a
virtio-mmio bus that is implemented by a VirtIOMMIOProxy object. Ask
the parent bus of VirtIOMMIOProxy to format the device path of
VirtIOMMIOProxy, as a path prefix. (This is identical to what
virtio_bus_get_dev_path() does.)
(2) Append the base address of VirtIOMMIOProxy to the device path, such
as:
- virtio-mmio@000000000a003e00,
- virtio-mmio@000000000a003c00.
Given that these device paths are placed in the migration stream, step (2)
above, if done unconditionally, would break migration. So make that step
conditional on a new VirtIOMMIOProxy property, which is enabled for 2.7
machine types and later.
