Deferred assignment of devices in virtual machine migration

摘要

Systems and methods for deferred assignment of devices in virtual machine migration. An example method comprises: starting, by a processing device of a first host computer system, a virtual machine being migrated from a second host computer system in a post-copy migration mode; receiving a request to associate an input/output (I/O) device with the virtual machine; and responsive to receiving, from the second host computer system, one or more memory pages comprised by a memory buffer associated with the I/O device, performing at least one of: associating an identifier of the I/O device with the memory buffer or allowing the virtual machine to access the I/O device.
