migration: Fix race on qemu_file_shutdown()
In qemu_file_shutdown(), there's a possible race if with current order of operation. There're two major things to do: (1) Do real shutdown() (e.g. shutdown() syscall on socket) (2) Update qemufile's last_error We must do (2) before (1) otherwise there can be a race condition like: page receiver other thread ------------- ------------ qemu_get_buffer() do shutdown() returns 0 (buffer all zero) (meanwhile we didn't check this retcode) try to detect IO error last_error==NULL, IO okay install ALL-ZERO page set last_error --> guest crash! To fix this, we can also check retval of qemu_get_buffer(), but not all APIs can be properly checked and ultimately we still need to go back to qemu_file_get_error(). E.g. qemu_get_byte() doesn't return error. Maybe some day a rework of qemufile API is really needed, but for now keep using qemu_file_get_error() and fix it by not allowing that race condition to happen. Here shutdown() is indeed special because the last_error was emulated. For real -EIO errors it'll always be set when e.g. sendmsg() error triggers so we won't miss those ones, only shutdown() is a bit tricky here. Cc: Daniel P.
