2010-08-30savevm: Generate a name when run without oneMiguel Di Ciurcio Filho
When savevm is run without a name, the name stays blank and the snapshot is saved anyway. The new behavior is when savevm is run without parameters a name will be created automaticaly, so the snapshot is accessible to the user without needing the id when loadvm is run.

2010-08-30monitor: make 'info snapshots' show only fully available snapshotsMiguel Di Ciurcio Filho
The output generated by 'info snapshots' shows only snapshots that exist on the block device that saves the VM state.

2010-08-03loadvm: improve tests before bdrv_snapshot_goto()Miguel Di Ciurcio Filho
This patch improves the resilience of the load_vmstate() function, doing further and better ordered tests. In load_vmstate(), if there is any error on bdrv_snapshot_goto(), except if the error is on VM state device, load_vmstate() will return zero and the VM will be started with major corruption chances. The current process: - test if there is any writable device without snapshot support - if exists return -error - get the device that saves the VM state, possible return -error but unlikely because it was tested earlier - flush I/O - run bdrv_snapshot_goto() on devices - if fails, give an warning and goes to the next (not good!) - if fails on the VM state device, return zero (not good!) - check if the requested snapshot exists on the device that saves the VM state and the state is not zero - if fails return -error - open the file with the VM state - if fails return -error - load the VM state - if fails return -error - return zero New behavior: - get the device that saves the VM state - if fails return -error - check if the requested snapshot exists on the device that saves the VM state and the state is not zero - if fails return -error - test if there is any writable device without snapshot support - if exists return -error - test if the devices with snapshot support have the requested snapshot - if anyone fails, return -error - flush I/O - run snapshot_goto() on devices - if anyone fails, return -error - open the file with the VM state - if fails return -error - load the VM state - if fails return -error - return zero do_loadvm must not call vm_start if any error has occurred in load_vmstate.

This commit adds subsections for each device section. Subsections is the way to handle information that don't need to be sent to de destination of a migration because its values are not needed.

2010-07-06savevm: Make use of DeviceStateAlex Williamson
For callers that pass a device we can traverse up the qdev tree and make use of the BusInfo.get_dev_path information for creating unique savevm id strings. This avoids needing to rely on the instance number, which can cause problems with device initialization order and hotplug. For compatibility, we also store away the old id string and instance so we can accept migrations from VMs as we add new get_dev_path implementations.

2010-07-02savevm: Survive hot-unplug of snapshot deviceMarkus Armbruster
savevm.c keeps a pointer to the snapshot block device. If you manage to get that device deleted, the pointer dangles, and the next snapshot operation will crash & burn. Unplugging a guest device that uses it does the trick: $ MALLOC_PERTURB_=234 qemu-system-x86_64 [...] QEMU 0.12.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) info snapshots No available block device supports snapshots (qemu) drive_add auto if=none,file=tmp.qcow2 OK (qemu) device_add usb-storage,id=foo,drive=none1 (qemu) info snapshots Snapshot devices: none1 Snapshot list (from none1): ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK (qemu) device_del foo (qemu) info snapshots Snapshot devices: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Move management of that pointer to block.c, and zap it when the device it points becomes unusable.

2010-06-15savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshotsMiguel Di Ciurcio Filho
Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized. First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten? bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there is snapshots or not. Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image. So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots(). static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void) { BlockDriverState *bs; DriveInfo *dinfo; if (bs_snapshots) return bs_snapshots; QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) { bs = dinfo->bdrv; if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs)) goto ok; } return NULL; ok: bs_snapshots = bs; return bs; } bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support snapshots and do_savevm() goes on. Later on in do_savevm(), we find: QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) { bs1 = dinfo->bdrv; if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) { /* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */ sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0); ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn); if (ret < 0) { monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n", bdrv_get_device_name(bs1)); } } } bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is actually checked for snapshot support. So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not, the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good behavior. It should be an all or nothing process. This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot() where appropriate. bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me. The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at least all writable devices must support snapshots too.

2010-05-15vmstate: Add support for alias IDJan Kiszka
Some legacy users (mostly PC devices) of vmstate_register manage instance IDs on their own, and that unfortunately in a way that is incompatible with automatically generated ones. This so far prevents switching those users to vmstates that are registered by qdev. To establish a migration path, this patch introduces the concept of alias IDs. They can be passed to an extended vmstate registration service, and qdev provides a set service to be used during device init. find_se will consider the alias in addition to the default ID. We can then start generating the default ID automatically and writing it on vmsave, thus converting that format without breaking support for upward migration. The user is required specify the highest vmstate version for which the alias is required. Once this version falls behind the minimum required for a specific vmstate, an assertion triggers to motivate cleaning up the obsolete alias.

2010-03-04KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback APIJan Kiszka
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks: - cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete (initial sync from kernel before vmsave) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state (writeback after vmload) - cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init - cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset (writeback after system reset) These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback: - KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run) - KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped) - KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well) This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way, no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are eliminated. cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems. Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

2009-12-03live migration: Serialize vmstate saving in stage 2Jan Kiszka
The effect of this patch with current block migration is that its stage 2, ie. the first full walk-through of the block devices will be performed completely before RAM migration starts. This ensures that continuously changing RAM pages are not re-synchronized all the time while block migration is not completed. Future versions of block migration which will respect the specified downtime will generate a different pattern: After RAM migration has started as well, block migration may also continue to inject dirty blocks into the RAM stream once it detects that the number of pending blocks would extend the downtime unacceptably. Note that all this relies on the current registration order: block before RAM migration. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-10-27Send a RARP packet after migration.Nolan
Currently, after a migration qemu sends a broadcast packet to update switches' MAC->port mappings. Unfortunately, it picks a random (constant) ethertype and crosses its fingers that no one else is using it. This patch causes it to send a RARP packet instead. RARP was chosen for 2 reasons. One, it is always harmless, and will continue to be so even as new ethertypes are allocated. Two, it is what VMware ESX sends, so people who write filtering rules for switches already know about it. I also changed the code to send SELF_ANNOUNCE_ROUNDS packets, instead of SELF_ANNOUNCE_ROUNDS + 1, and added a simple backoff scheme.
