migration: allow private destination ram with x-ignore-shared
By removing the share ram check, qemu is able to migrate to private destination ram when x-ignore-shared capability is on. Then we can create multiple destination VMs based on the same source VM. This changes the x-ignore-shared migration capability to work similar to Lai's original bypass-shared-memory work(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-04/msg00003.html) which enables kata containers (https://katacontainers.io) to implement the VM templating feature. An example usage in kata containers(https://katacontainers.io): 1. Start the source VM: qemu-system-x86 -m 2G \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=2G,share=on,mem-path=/tmpfs/template-memory \ -numa node,memdev=mem0 2. Stop the template VM, set migration x-ignore-shared capability, migrate "exec:cat>/tmpfs/state", quit it 3. Start target VM: qemu-system-x86 -m 2G \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=2G,share=off,mem-path=/tmpfs/template-memory \ -numa node,memdev=mem0 \ -incoming defer 4. connect to target VM qmp, set migration x-ignore-shared capability, migrate_incoming "exec:cat /tmpfs/state" 5. create more target VMs repeating 3 and 4 Cc: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Cc: Yury Kotov <yury-kotov@yandex-team.ru> Cc: Jiangshan Lai <laijs@hyper.sh> Cc: Xu Wang <xu@hyper.sh> Signed-off-by: Peng Tao <tao.peng@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Message-Id: <1560494113-1141-1-git-send-email-tao.peng@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>
