[PATCH for-8.2 0/6] vfio/migration: Add P2P support for VFIO migration

[Avihai Horon <avihaih@nvidia.com>]

Hi all,

The first patch in this series adds a small optimization to VFIO
migration by moving the STOP_COPY->STOP transition to
vfio_save_cleanup(). Testing with a ConnectX-7 VFIO device showed that
this can reduce downtime by up to 6%.

The rest of the series adds P2P support for VFIO migration.

VFIO migration uAPI defines an optional intermediate P2P quiescent
state. While in the P2P quiescent state, P2P DMA transactions cannot be
initiated by the device, but the device can respond to incoming ones.
Additionally, all outstanding P2P transactions are guaranteed to have
been completed by the time the device enters this state.

The purpose of this state is to support migration of multiple devices
that are doing P2P transactions between themselves.

To implement P2P migration support, all the devices must be transitioned
to the P2P quiescent state before being stopped or started.

This behavior is achieved by adding an optional pre VM state change
callback to VMChangeStateEntry. These callbacks are invoked before the
main VM state change callbacks, transitioning all the VFIO devices to
the P2P state, and only then are the main callbacks invoked, which stop
or start the devices.

This will allow migration of multiple VFIO devices if all of them
support P2P migration.

Thanks.
