[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v3 2/2] migration: conntrack: avoid crash when dbus-vmstate object cannot be added (quickly enough)

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

As reported in the community forum [0], it might happen that the
dbus-vmstate object is not added (quickly enough) to the target QEMU
instance, before the migration state is loaded. This would result in
a crash of the target instance:

> kvm: Unknown savevm section or instance 'dbus-vmstate/dbus-vmstate'
> 0. Make sure that your current VM setup matches your saved VM setup,
> including any hotplugged devices
> kvm: load of migration failed: Invalid argument

This is after the configuration is already moved and thus there also
is no source instance running anymore.

Change the type of the 'pve-dbus-vmstate@' service to 'notify', so
that starting the service returns success only after the
'dbus-vmstate' object has been added to the QEMU instance.

Dependency bump qemu-server -> pve-common needed.

No changes in v3.
