Hi Sean,
Thanks a lot for the thorough review and evaluation of the bug.
I appreciated it! It took me a while so I could get time to parse and
get you a proper response.

Not sure exactly what you mean here but, there is only one agent
(openvswitch-agent) on the computes and network nodes. That agent uses
the configuration as in [2] and is not configured as SRIOV, the
switchdev/hw offloading configuration is done in openvswitch.

I don't believe we are using this.

Right, this is how we are doing.

The migration is beteween 2 switchdev hosts with ml2/ovs

The bug above might be one of the possible problems related to this
message. If you follow the logs[3] you will see that here, this is
happening because:
1 - During pre_live_migration, the neutron port is attached on the
destination host[4]
2 - pre_live_migration fails on the destination host and triggers an
exception on the source host[5] [6]->[7]
3 - rollback is triggered and tries re-attach the port to source host,
but QEMU instance still holds the PCI address[8] and the PCI message
error is triggered

migration phase after pre_live_migrate
As I mentioned above, the failure was in the pre_live_migration funcion
(I caused in in my env, but it happeneded for some reason at the customer
site)

So, these are standard ubuntu images and are for sure configured to
hotplug given they don't loose connection when the migration works.
So, it seems that the bug here is that rollback_
is called for both when the migration fails on pre_live_
or live_migration. But, for the case when something fails on
pre_live_migration, this shouldn't be done.
Now I'm curious and will test if this attempt/error to re-attach the
device in the same address is the thing that is making the instance to
loose conectivity. I'll test that. Please let me know your thoguths on
my suspition above.
Erlon
