Hi,

This patch series is a revised version of Kemari for KVM, which
applied comments for the previous post. The current code is based on
qemu.git 0bfe006c5380c5f8a485a55ded3329fbbc224396.

The changes from v0.2.7 -> v0.2.8 are:

- fixed calling wrong cb in event-tap
- add missing qemu_aio_release in event-tap

The changes from v0.2.6 -> v0.2.7 are:

- add AIOCB, AIOPool and cancel functions (Kevin)
- insert event-tap for bdrv_flush (Kevin)
- add error handing when calling bdrv functions (Kevin)
- fix usage of qemu_aio_flush and bdrv_flush (Kevin)
- use bs in AIOCB on the primary (Kevin)
- reorder event-tap functions to gather with block/net (Kevin)
- fix checking bs->device_name (Kevin)

The changes from v0.2.5 -> v0.2.6 are:

- use qemu_{put,get}_be32() to save/load niov in event-tap

The changes from v0.2.4 -> v0.2.5 are:

- fixed braces and trailing spaces by using Blue's checkpatch.pl (Blue)
- event-tap: don't try to send blk_req if it's a bdrv_aio_flush event

The changes from v0.2.3 -> v0.2.4 are:

- call vm_start() before event_tap_flush_one() to avoid failure in
virtio-net assertion
- add vm_change_state_handler to turn off ft_mode
- use qemu_iovec functions in event-tap
- remove duplicated code in migration
- remove unnecessary new line for error_report in ft_trans_file

The changes from v0.2.2 -> v0.2.3 are:

- queue async net requests without copying (MST)
-- if not async, contents of the packets are sent to the secondary
- better description for option -k (MST)
- fix memory transfer failure
- fix ft transaction initiation failure

The changes from v0.2.1 -> v0.2.2 are:

- decrement last_avaid_idx with inuse before saving (MST)
- remove qemu_aio_flush() and bdrv_flush_all() in migrate_ft_trans_commit()

The changes from v0.2 -> v0.2.1 are:

- Move event-tap to net/block layer and use stubs (Blue, Paul, MST, Kevin)
- Tap bdrv_aio_flush (Marcelo)
- Remove multiwrite interface in event-tap (Stefan)
- Fix event-tap to use pio/mmio to replay both net/block (Stefan)
- Improve error handling in event-tap (Stefan)
- Fix leak in event-tap (Stefan)
- Revise virtio last_avail_idx manipulation (MST)
- Clean up migration.c hook (Marcelo)
- Make deleting change state handler robust (Isaku, Anthony)

The changes from v0.1.1 -> v0.2 are:

- Introduce a queue in event-tap to make VM sync live.
- Change transaction receiver to a state machine for async receiving.
- Replace net/block layer functions with event-tap proxy functions.
- Remove dirty bitmap optimization for now.
- convert DPRINTF() in ft_trans_file to trace functions.
- convert fprintf() in ft_trans_file to error_report().
- improved error handling in ft_trans_file.
- add a tmp pointer to qemu_del_vm_change_state_handler.

The changes from v0.1 -> v0.1.1 are:

- events are tapped in net/block layer instead of device emulation layer.
- Introduce a new option for -incoming to accept FT transaction.

- Removed writev() support to QEMUFile and FdMigrationState for now.
I would post this work in a different series.

- Modified virtio-blk save/load handler to send inuse variable to
correctly replay.

- Removed configure --enable-ft-mode.
- Removed unnecessary check for qemu_realloc().

The first 6 patches modify several functions of qemu to prepare
introducing Kemari specific components.

The next 6 patches are the components of Kemari. They introduce
event-tap and the FT transaction protocol file based on buffered file.
The design document of FT transaction protocol can be found at,
http://wiki.qemu.org/images/b/b1/Kemari_sender_receiver_0.5a.pdf

Then the following 2 patches modifies net/block layer functions with
event-tap functions. Please note that if Kemari is off, event-tap
will just passthrough, and there is most no intrusion to exisiting
functions including normal live migration.

Finally, the migration layer are modified to support Kemari in the
last 5 patches. Again, there shouldn't be any affection if a user
doesn't specify Kemari specific options. The transaction is now async
on both sender and receiver side. The sender side respects the
max_downtime to decide when to switch from async to sync mode.

The repository contains all patches I'm sending with this message.
For those who want to try, please pull the following repository. It
also includes dirty bitmap optimization which aren't ready for posting
yet. To remove the dirty bitmap optimization, please look at HEAD~5
of the tree.

Thanks,

Yoshiaki Tamura (19):
Make QEMUFile buf expandable, and introduce qemu_realloc_buffer() and
qemu_clear_buffer().
Introduce read() to FdMigrationState.
Introduce skip_header parameter to qemu_loadvm_state().
qemu-char: export socket_set_nodelay().
vl.c: add deleted flag for deleting the handler.
virtio: decrement last_avail_idx with inuse before saving.
Introduce fault tolerant VM transaction QEMUFile and ft_mode.
savevm: introduce util functions to control ft_trans_file from savevm
layer.
Introduce event-tap.
Call init handler of event-tap at main() in vl.c.
ioport: insert event_tap_ioport() to ioport_write().
Insert event_tap_mmio() to cpu_physical_memory_rw() in exec.c.
