2009-07-16honor -S on incoming migrationPaolo Bonzini
-S is not honored by qemu on incoming migration. If a domain is migrated while paused, thus, it will start running on the remote machine; this is wrong. Given the trivial patch to fix this, it looks more like a thinko than anything else, probably dating back to the qemu-kvm merge. The interesting part is that the -S mechanism was in fact *used* when migrating (setting autostart = 0) and the incoming migration code was starting the VM at the end of the migration. Since I was removing the vm_start from there, I also corrected a related imprecision. The code was doing a vm_stop "just in case", but we can be sure that the VM is not running---the vm_start call in vl.c has not been reached yet. So the vm_stop is removed together with the vm_start.

2009-05-27Allow monitor interaction when using migrate -execChris Lalancette
All, I've recently been playing around with migration via exec. Unfortunately, when starting the incoming qemu process with "-incoming exec:cmd", it suffers the same problem that -incoming tcp used to suffer; namely, that you can't interact with the monitor until after the migration has happened. This causes problems for libvirt usage of -incoming exec, since libvirt expects to be able to access the monitor ahead of time. This fairly simple patch allows you to access the monitor both before and after the migration has completed using exec. (note: developed/tested with qemu-kvm, but applies perfectly fine to qemu) Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-03-05monitor: Decouple terminals (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Currently all registered (and activate) monitor terminals work in broadcast mode: Everyone sees what someone else types on some other terminal and what the monitor reports back. This model is broken when you have a management monitor terminal that is automatically operated and some other terminal used for independent guest inspection. Such additional terminals can be multiplexed device channels or a gdb frontend connected to QEMU's stub. Therefore, this patch decouples the buffers and states of all monitor terminals, allowing the user to operate them independently. It finally starts to use the 'mon' parameter that was introduced earlier with the API rework. It also defines the default monitor: the first instantance that has the MONITOR_IS_DEFAULT flag set, and that is the monitor created via the "-monitor" command line switch (or "vc" if none is given). As the patch requires to rework the monitor suspension interface, it also takes the freedom to make it "truely" suspending (so far suspending meant suppressing the prompt, but inputs were still processed).

2009-03-05monitor: Rework API (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals: term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate reference to monitor output services. For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term, those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed again. Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal functions that invoke monitor_printf. At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

2008-11-12Fix brown-paper-bag bugs from live-migration patch (Charles Duffy)aliguori
In TCP migration, prevent an endless loop trying to retrieve error status. In exec migration, set the close pointer in the FdMigrationState structure. Color me embarrassed.

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.
