[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/16] Postcopy: Hugepage support

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/16] Postcopy: Hugepage support

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Hi,
  The existing postcopy code, and the userfault kernel
code that supports it, only works for normal anonymous memory.
Kernel support for userfault on hugetlbfs has just
been merged in Linus's tree for 4.11 (see 4c9a7831b11 merge)

Note that while this code supports arbitrary sized hugepages,
it doesn't make sense with pages above the few-MB region,
so while 2MB is fine, 1GB is probably a bad idea;
this code waits for and transmits whole huge pages, and a
1GB page would take about 1 second to transfer over a 10Gbps
link - which is way too long to pause the destination for.

Note: 'postcopy: Update userfaultfd.h header' is now from
Paolo's recent header update run; it can be dropped as
soon as Paolo's goes in.

Dave

v3
  Added an extra check in 'postcopy: Add extra check for COPY function'
  Updates from Laurent's review:
    moved the CONFIG_FALLOCATE_PUNCH_HOLE from 'ram_block_discard_range'
    into the following 'enhance ram_block_discard_range for hugepages'
    Merged the ram_block_discard_range / Fold postcopy_ram_discard_range
    into ram_discard_range  patches
    Removed the excess rcu_read_lock in ram_block_discard_range
    Removed a removal of a blank line in 'Mask fault address'
  Updated the 'Update userfaultfd.h header' - that's now from Paolo's update

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 01/16] postcopy: Transmit ram size summary word

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Replace the host page-size in the 'advise' command by a pagesize
summary bitmap; if the VM is just using normal RAM then
this will be exactly the same as before, however if they're using
huge pages they'll be different, and thus:
   a) Migration from/to old qemu's that don't understand huge pages
      will fail early.
   b) Migrations with different size RAMBlocks will also fail early.

This catches it very early; earlier than the detailed per-block
check in the next patch.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 02/16] postcopy: Transmit and compare individual page sizes

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

When using postcopy with hugepages, we require the source
and destination page sizes for any RAMBlock to match; note
that different RAMBlocks in the same VM can have different
page sizes.

Transmit them as part of the RAM information header and
fail if there's a difference.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 04/16] exec: ram_block_discard_range

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Create ram_block_discard_range in exec.c to replace
postcopy_ram_discard_range and most of ram_discard_range.

Those two routines are a bit of a weird combination, and
ram_discard_range is about to get more complex for hugepages.
It's OS dependent code (so shouldn't be in migration/ram.c) but
it needs quite a bit of the innards of RAMBlock so doesn't belong in
the os*.c.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 05/16] postcopy: enhance ram_block_discard_range for hugepages

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Unfortunately madvise DONTNEED doesn't work on hugepagetlb
so use fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
qemu_fd_getpagesize only sets the page based off a file
if the file is from hugetlbfs.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 08/16] postcopy: Use temporary for placing zero huge pages

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

The kernel can't do UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE for huge pages, so we have
to allocate a temporary (always zero) page and use UFFDIO_COPYPAGE
on it.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 09/16] postcopy: Load huge pages in one go

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

The existing postcopy RAM load loop already ensures that it
glues together whole host-pages from the target page size chunks sent
over the wire.  Modify the definition of host page that it uses
to be the RAM block page size and thus be huge pages where appropriate.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 10/16] postcopy: Mask fault addresses to huge page boundary

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Currently the fault address received by userfault is rounded to
the host page boundary and a host page is requested from the source.
Use the current RAMBlock page size instead of the general host page
size so that for RAMBlocks backed by huge pages we request the whole
huge page.

+     hugepages works well, however 1GB hugepages are likely to be problematic
+     since it takes ~1 second to transfer a 1GB hugepage across a 10Gbps link,
+     and until the full page is transferred the destination thread is blocked.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 16/16] postcopy: Add extra check for COPY function

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

As an extra sanity check, make sure the region we're registering
can perform UFFDIO_COPY;  the COPY will fail later but this
gives a cleaner failure.

It seems a blank line has "migrated" here from PATCH v2 11/16. ;)
