[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v9 0/6] migration/ppc: migrating DRC, ccs_list and pending_events

[Daniel Henrique Barboza <danielhb@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

v9:
- patch 1 (*new*): added a qtail in sPAPRMachineState called pending_dimm_unplugs
that stores the DIMM LMB state during the unplug process.
- patch 2 (*new*): merged v8-patch1 and v8-patch2: removing detach_cb and
detach_cb_opaque.
- patch 3:
    * removed dk->vmsd entry. We're using vmstate_register instead
    * added 'awaiting_allocation' flag in the DRC migration
- patch 4 (*new*): migrating spapr->pending_dimm_unplugs qtailq to allow
for an ongoing PCDIMM unplug to continue after a migration.

v8:
- new patch added: 'removing spapr_drc_detach_cb opaques'. This new patch removes
the need for the detach_cb_opaques inside the removal callback functions. See
the commit message of the patch for more info.

v7:
- removed the first patch. DRC registration is now done by vmstate_register
in patch 2.
- added a new patch that changes spapr_dr_connector_new to receive as argument
the detach_cb.
- removed the callback logic of patch 2 since there is no need to restore the
detach_cb on post-load due to the detach_cb on spapr_dr_connector_new change.
- added word separators in the VMSD names of patch 3 and 4.

v6: - Rebased with QEMU master after 6+ months.
    - Simplified the logic in patch 1.
    - Reworked patch 2: added CPU DRC migration, removed a function pointer from DRC
class and minor improvements.
    - Added clarifications from the previous v5 discussions in the commit messages.

v5: - Rebased to David's ppc-for-2.8.

v4: - Introduce a way to set customized instance_id in SaveStateEntry. Use it
      to set instance_id for DRC using its unique index to address David 
      Gibson's concern.
    - Rename VMS_CSTM to VMS_LINKED based on Paolo Bonzini's suggestions.
    - Clean up qjson stuff in put_qtailq. 
    - Add trace for put_qtailq and get_qtailq based on David Gilbert's 
      suggestion.

    - Based on David's ppc-for-2.7. 

v3: - Simplify overall design followng discussion with Paolo. No longer need
      metadata to migrate QTAILQ.
    - Extend VMStateInfo instead of adding similar fields to VMStateField.
    - Clean up macros in qemu/queue.h.

v2: - Introduce a general approach to migrate QTAILQ in qemu/queue.h.
    - Migrate signalled field in the DRC state.
    - Put the newly added migrating fields in subsections so that backward 
      migration is not broken.  
    - Set detach_cb field right after migration so that a migrated hot-unplug
      event could finish its course.

v1: - Inital version.

To make guest devices (PCI, CPU and memory) hotplug work together 
with guest migration, spapr drc state needs be transmitted in
migration. This patch defines the VMStateDescription struct for
spapr drc state to enable it.

To fix the potential racing between hotplug events on guest and 
guest migration, ccs_list and pending_events of spapr state need be 
transmitted in migration. This patch set also takes care of it.
