I am not very clear about the logic in vmstate.c, but from its context in
vmstate_save_state, it seems size should not be 0, otherwise the followed
for loop will keep working on the same element. So I just add a simple
check to pass that case, not sure if it's right but it can pass iotest
case 68 and 91 now.

The iotest's failed output is:
068 1s ... - output mismatch (see 068.out.bad)

This is really a live migration fix, so I'm adding Juan and Dave to CC.

I suspect the real question is why a field with size 0 was even stored
in the vmstate to begin with.

Yes; which field is it that's failing?

You are right, this is migration stuff and has very little to do with
qemu-block.

I have looked onto the issue. It affects s390x only if we
are running without KVM. Basically, S390CPU.irqstate is unused
if we do not use KVM, and thus no buffer is allocated.

IMHO this is a missing field and the cleaner way to handle such
missing fields is exist. However this used to work, and I recommended
QuiFeng Hao to discuss the problem upstream.

By the way, I think, if we want to go back to the old behavior
and support VMS_VBUFFER with size 0 and nullptr, a much
cleaner way to do the fix is to change the assert to:

assert(first_elem  || !n_elems || !size)

Obviously the other clean way to fix is to implement exists.

I think the migration maintainers (Juan and Dave) should make a
call regarding if the described usage  of VMS_BUFFER is a legal
or an illegal one.

See Qingfeng's other reply in this thread. It is irqstate.

So is it this code in target/s390x/machine.c ?

        VMSTATE_VBUFFER_UINT32(irqstate, S390CPU, 4, NULL,
                               irqstate_saved_size),

it should be legal for that to be zero length.
It also makes sense that if that's zero length it should be OK for
the pointer to be NULL.

I think it's best if you do change that assert.

If you're right that this specific vmstate was valid in earlier
versions, then I think it's clear that we need to make it work again.
Otherwise we're breaking migration from old versions.

Makes sense. I think QingFeng will agree too and send a
new version soon.

Not really. We would not break migration because nothing was written to
the stream for VMS_VBUFFER of size 0 except the vmdesc which is at the end,
'debug only', and does not affect migration compatibility. 

IMHO it is an API question. I would have said, there is no data, therefore
there is no field if it's from scratch. But with prior history, I agree
with Dave, we should restore old behavior -- which was changed unintentionally
because I made a wrong assumption.

Halil,
Unfortunately, another assert failed after I change the code as below in
vmstate_save_state and vmstate_load_state:
assert(first_elem  || !n_elems || !size);

The error is:
+qemu-system-s390x: migration/vmstate.c:341: vmstate_save_state: 
Assertion `field->flags & VMS_ARRAY_OF_POINTER' failed.
It's the code as below:
  if (!curr_elem) {
                     /* if null pointer write placeholder and do not 
follow      */
                   assert(field->flags & VMS_ARRAY_OF_POINTER);
After debug, I found that the assert failure was still of irqstate and 
its field flags is 0x102(VMS_VBUFFER | VMS_POINTER),
while VMS_ARRAY_OF_POINTER is 0x040. The flags's value matches Dave's 
former assumption
on machine.c although machine.c wasn't compiled, which also confuses me.

Then I commented out that assert(field->flags & VMS_ARRAY_OF_POINTER) 
and the case 68 & 91
can both work!

The question is: can we do that change and what the second assert of 
field's flags is used for?
Thanks!

Sorry, I failed to mention this yesterday. You should also do

-                 if (!curr_elem) {
+                 if (!curr_elem && size) {

Yeah but that would break migration compatibility for write by 
writing a nullptr-marker character into the stream.

The assert is there to guard against unintended use of this nullptr-marker
mechanism.

I have tested so this should work. By the way a vmstate test covering this
corner-case would be a good idea too (IMHO). Would you like to write one?
