[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/35] Migration thread (20121211)

[Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>]

Hi

Changes:
- we are back to full patch series
- we reuse save_iterate() code in complete phase
- I didn't try to change the block-migration code, it should continue
   working, but has none of the optimizations.
- we split the complete phase into:
  * we write some ram into the buffer
  * we flush the buffer
  instead of doing it in a big push
- we change the iterate phase to tell the subsystem how much free space
  is in the buffer.  We should be able now to use smaller buffers.

- We "could" change easily to move back to the iterate phase if the
  complete phase is taking too long, is just the case of having to put
  a timing test into the new loop.  I didn't put it, because my
  testing showed that now we are much, much better and being inside
  the downtime target.

- Last patch is just to printing where the timing is spent in the
  complete phase, that would be removed when I ask for a pull.

- this branch includes the patches that I sent for request sooner today.

The following changes since commit 77db8657048f233edf21e1a9ebdc30a367fbdc36:

  migration: Fix madvise breakage if host and guest have different page sizes (2012-12-11 12:45:56 +0100)

Please test & comment & review, Juan.



[20121029 version]
After discussing with Anthony and Paolo, this is the minimal migration
thread support that we can do for 1.3.

- fixed all the comments (thanks eric, paolo and orit).
- buffered_file.c remains until 1.4.
- testing for vinod showed very nice results, that is why the bitmap
  handling optimizations remain.

Note: Writes has become blocking, and I have to change the "remove"
the feature now in qemu-sockets.c.  Checked that migration was the
only user of that feature.  If new users appear, they just need to add
the socket_set_nonblock() by hand.

Please, review.

Thanks, Juan.
