2009-12-19Revert "monitor: Convert do_migrate_set_speed() to QObject"Anthony Liguori
This reverts commit 3a4921047d514c336531c304bec362c4d138ebcc. From Luiz: do_migrate_set_speed() accepts a suffix for the 'value' argument and this is not good for QMP. We will have to add a new argument type to handle that and this will have to wait for 0.13. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-12-12migration: Convert do_info_migrate() to QObjectLuiz Capitulino
Return a QDict, which may contain up to more two QDicts, depending on the type of migration we're performing. IMPORTANT: as a QInt stores a int64_t integer, RAM values are going to be stored as int64_t and not as uint64_t as they are today. If this is a problem QInt will have to be changed. This commit should not change user output. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-11-17Block live migrationlirans@il.ibm.com
This patch introduces block migration called during live migration. Block are being copied to the destination in an async way. First the code will transfer the whole disk and then transfer all dirty blocks accumulted during the migration. Still need to improve transition from the iterative phase of migration to the end phase. For now transition will take place when all blocks transfered once, all the dirty blocks will be transfered during the end phase (guest is suspended). Changes from v4: - Global variabels moved to a global state structure allocated dynamically. - Minor coding style issues. - Poll block.c for tracking of dirty blocks instead of manage it here.

This commit ports command handlers that receive no arguments to use the new monitor's dictionary.

2009-08-24Migration via unix sockets.Chris Lalancette
Implement migration via unix sockets. While you can fake this using exec and netcat, this involves forking another process and is generally not very nice. By doing this directly in qemu, we can avoid the copy through the external nc command. This is useful for implementations (such as libvirt) that want to do "secure" migration; we pipe the data on the sending side into the unix socket, libvirt picks it up, encrypts it, and transports it, and then on the remote side libvirt decrypts it, dumps it to another unix socket, and feeds it into qemu. The implementation is straightforward and looks very similar to migration-exec.c and migration-tcp.c Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-06-16set migration max downtimeGlauber Costa
provide a monitor command to allow one to set the maximum downtime he is willing to suffer during migration, in seconds. "ms", "us", "ns" and "s" are accepted as modifiers. This parameter will be used by ram_save_live() code to determine a safe moment to enter stage 3 Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-06-16add non-arbitrary migration stop conditionGlauber Costa
Currently, we're entering migration's stage 3 when a treshold of 10 pages remain to be transferred in the system. This has hurt some users. However, any proposed threshold is arbitrary by nature, and would only shift the annoyance. The proposal of this patch is to define a max_downtime variable, which represents the maximum downtime a migration user is willing to suffer. Then, based on the bandwidth of last iteration, we calculate how much data we can transfer in such a window of time. Whenever we reach that value (or lower), we know is safe to enter stage3. This has largely improved the situation for me. On localhost migrations, where one would expect things to go as quickly as me running away from the duty of writting software for windows, a kernel compile was enough to get the migration stuck. It takes 20 ~ 30 iterations now. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@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.

2008-11-11Reintroduce 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.

This patch introduces a tcp protocol for live migration. It can be used as follows: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/images/linux-test.img -monitor stdio <vm runs for a while> (qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:1025 On the same system: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/images/linux-test.img -incoming tcp:localhost:1025 The monitor can be interacted with while waiting for an incoming live migration.
