Subject: [PATCH qemu v3 4/4] savevm-async: restore run state from before snapshot
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 12:46:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914104642.145478-5-e.fastermann@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914104642.145478-1-e.fastermann@proxmox.com>
A snapshot of a paused VM left it in finish-migrate, where it stayed
until the VM was restarted. vm_needs_start only recorded whether the VM
had been running, so there was nothing to restore a paused VM to.
Store the run state instead and put it back, similar to
migration_iteration_finish().
