When patching KVM hosts, our preferred way is to live migrate the VMs to another host temporarily.

I see that the fix for squeeze needed some backporting work. In particular, it introduces a no_hotplug property.

I wonder if there are precautions to consider in this case. Live migration looks fine both ways: start a VM on unpatched host and migrate to patched host, and also the other way round. (Tried with just one VM.)

Is there still a security hole through a migrated (from unpatched to patched host) VM? Is it necessary to stop and start the VMs?

Cheers
 Harry
