2022-07-20migration: Create the postcopy preempt channel asynchronouslyPeter Xu
This patch allows the postcopy preempt channel to be created asynchronously. The benefit is that when the connection is slow, we won't take the BQL (and potentially block all things like QMP) for a long time without releasing. A function postcopy_preempt_wait_channel() is introduced, allowing the migration thread to be able to wait on the channel creation. The channel is always created by the main thread, in which we'll kick a new semaphore to tell the migration thread that the channel has created. We'll need to wait for the new channel in two places: (1) when there's a new postcopy migration that is starting, or (2) when there's a postcopy migration to resume. For the start of migration, we don't need to wait for this channel until when we want to start postcopy, aka, postcopy_start(). We'll fail the migration if we found that the channel creation failed (which should probably not happen at all in 99% of the cases, because the main channel is using the same network topology). For a postcopy recovery, we'll need to wait in postcopy_pause(). In that case if the channel creation failed, we can't fail the migration or we'll crash the VM, instead we keep in PAUSED state, waiting for yet another recovery.

2022-07-20migration: Postcopy preemption preparation on channel creationPeter Xu
Create a new socket for postcopy to be prepared to send postcopy requested pages via this specific channel, so as to not get blocked by precopy pages. A new thread is also created on dest qemu to receive data from this new channel based on the ram_load_postcopy() routine. The ram_load_postcopy(POSTCOPY) branch and the thread has not started to function, and that'll be done in follow up patches. Cleanup the new sockets on both src/dst QEMUs, meanwhile look after the new thread too to make sure it'll be recycled properly. Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2022-03-02migration: Add postcopy_thread_create()Peter Xu
Postcopy create threads. A common manner is we init a sem and use it to sync with the thread. Namely, we have fault_thread_sem and listen_thread_sem and they're only used for this. Make it a shared infrastructure so it's easier to create yet another thread.

2019-10-11migration/postcopy: allocate tmp_page in setup stageWei Yang
During migration, a tmp page is allocated so that we could place a whole host page during postcopy. Currently the page is allocated during load stage, this is a little bit late. And more important, if we failed to allocate it, the error is not checked properly. Even it is NULL, we would still use it. This patch moves the allocation to setup stage and if failed error message would be printed and caller would notice it.

2019-08-14migration/postcopy: make PostcopyDiscardState a static variableWei Yang
In postcopy-ram.c, we provide three functions to discard certain RAMBlock range: * postcopy_discard_send_init() * postcopy_discard_send_range() * postcopy_discard_send_finish() Currently, we allocate/deallocate PostcopyDiscardState for each RAMBlock on sending discard information to destination. This is not necessary and the same data area could be reused for each RAMBlock. This patch defines PostcopyDiscardState a static variable. By doing so: 1) avoid memory allocation and deallocation to the system 2) avoid potential failure of memory allocation 3) hide some details for their users Signed-off-by: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@linux.intel.com> Message-Id: <20190724010721.2146-1-richardw.yang@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com>
