experimental VFIO migration? I guess this will make easier to migrate a VM with GPU workload from host to host without interrupting it


Are there GPUs that allow enough internal state to be dumped / reloaded for a migration like that to work?

(I'm asking from pure ignorance.)


You can do it in the vfio driver by just keeping the bookkeeping information around as resources are created.


I'm also ignorant about this topic, but it's certainly accomplishable. There's a (quite old) video with demonstration: https://youtu.be/jjkcPn19fcs
