2008-11-11Reintroduce migrate-to-exec: support (Charles Duffy)aliguori
KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec: targets for this latter purpose. This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into migrate.c.

2008-10-24Live migration for Win32 (Hervé Poussineau)aliguori
This patch fixes migration so that it works on Win32. This requires using socket specific calls since sockets cannot be treated like file descriptors on win32.

2008-10-13Fix some issues with QEMUFilealiguori
This patch allows QEMUFile's read and write operations to return negative error codes. This is necessary to detect things like closed streams during live migration. It also removes unused code for QEMUFileFD write path. Finally, it makes sure to avoid attempting to flush an output buffer if the file is only being used for input. This was spotted by Uri Lublin.

2008-10-06Introduce v3 of savevm protocolaliguori
The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs. It does not support the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live checkpointing or migration. The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest. It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed. The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward compatibility. If a saved section version is greater than what the restore code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in whatever version it supports. This means that restoring a saved VM on an older version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure. This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol. It has the following features: * Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration) * An asynchronous API for doing save * Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections (for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration) * Fully streaming format * Strong section version checking Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@5434 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

2008-09-29Refactor QEMUFile for live migrationaliguori
To support live migration, we override QEMUFile so that instead of writing to disk, the save/restore state happens over a network connection. This patch makes QEMUFile read/write operations function pointers so that we can override them for live migration.
