[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/8] WIP: Multifd compression support

[Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>]

v2:
- improve the code left and right
- Split better the zlib code
- rename everything to v4.1
- Add tests for multifd-compress zlib
- Parameter is now an enum (soon will see sztd)

ToDo:
- Make operations for diferent methods:
  * multifd_prepare_send_none/zlib
  * multifd_send_none/zlib
  * multifd_recv_none/zlib
- Use the MULTIFD_FLAG_ZLIB (it is unused so far).

Please review and comment.

v1:

This series create compression code on top of multifd.  It is still
WIP, but it is already:
- faster that current compression code
- it does the minimum amount of copies possible
- we allow support for other compression codes
- it pass the multifd test sent in my previous series

Test for existing code didn't work because code is too slow, I need to
make downtime 10 times bigger to make it to converge on my test
machine.  This code works with same limits that multifd no-

ToDo:
- move printf's  to traces
- move code to a struct instead of if (zlib) inside the main threads.
- improve error handling.

Please, review and coment.
