In order to support PRE_COPY, mlx5 driver is transferring multiple states (images) of the device. e.g.: the source VF can save and transfer multiple states, and the target VF will load them by that order. The device is saving three kinds of states: 1) Initial state - when the device moves to PRE_COPY state. 2) Middle state - during PRE_COPY phase via VFIO_MIG_GET_PRECOPY_INFO. There can be multiple states of this type. 3) Final state - when the device moves to STOP_COPY state. After moving to PRE_COPY state, user is holding the saving migf FD and can use it. For example: user can start transferring data via read() callback. Also, user can switch from PRE_COPY to STOP_COPY whenever he sees it fits. This will invoke saving of final state. This means that mlx5 VFIO device can be switched to STOP_COPY without transferring any data in PRE_COPY state. Therefore, when the device moves to STOP_COPY, mlx5 will store the final state on a dedicated queue entry on the list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
