- When migration of a VM with encrypted vTPM fails on the
destination host, (e.g., due to a mismatch in secret values),
the error message displayed on the source host is generic and unhelpful.
- For example, a typical error looks like this:
"operation failed: job 'migration out' failed: Sibling indicated error 1.
operation failed: job 'migration in' failed: load of migration failed:
Input/output error"
- Such generic errors are logged using error_report(), which prints to
the console/monitor but does not make the detailed error accessible via
the QMP query-migrate command.
- This change, along with the set of changes of passing errp Error object
to the VM state loading functions, help in addressing the issue.
We use the post_load_errp hook of VMStateDescription to propagate errors
by setting Error **errp objects in case of failure in the TPM backend.
- It can then be retrieved using QMP command:
{"execute" : "query-migrate"}
