This a respin of the multifd save prototype, rebased on post 8.3.0 release. There are still quite a few rough edges: KNOWN ISSUES: 1) this applies only to virsh save and virsh restore for now (no managed save etc). 2) error handling is not good yet, especially during resume, errors may leave behind a qemu process and such. May need some help find all of these cases 3) the compression part is demonstrative only, there needs to be more attention to compression options, and detecting the compression used to store the multifd saves. ... changes from v4: * runIO renamed to virFileDiskCopy and rethought arguments * renamed new APIs from ...ParametersFlags to ...Params * introduce the new virDomainSaveParams and virDomainRestoreParams without any additional parameters, so they can be upstreamed first. * solved the issue in the gendispatch.pl script generating code that was missing the conn parameter. --- changes from v3: * reordered series to have all helper-related change at the start * solved all reported issues from ninja test, including documentation * fixed most broken migration capabilities code (still imperfect likely) * added G_GNUC_UNUSED as needed * after multifd restore, added what I think were the missing operations: qemuProcessRefreshState(), qemuProcessStartCPUs() - most importantly, virDomainObjSave() The domain now starts running after restore without further encouragement * removed the sleep(10) from the multifd-helper changes from v2: * added ability to restore the VM from disk using multifd * fixed the multifd-helper to work in both directions, assuming the need to listen for save, and connect for restore. * fixed a large number of bugs, and probably introduced some :-) Thanks for your thoughts, Claudio Claudio Fontana (27): iohelper: introduce new struct to carry copy operation parameters iohelper: refactor copy operation as a separate function iohelper: move runIO function to virfile.c virfile: rename runIO to virFileDiskCopy virfile: change virFileDiskCopy arguments to extend beyond stdin, stdout virfile: add comment about the use of SEEK_END in virFileDiskCopy multifd-helper: new helper for parallel save/restore libvirt: introduce virDomainSaveParams public API libvirt: introduce virDomainRestoreParams public API remote: Add RPC support for the virDomainSaveParams API gendispatch: add DomainRestoreParams as requiring conn argument remote: Add RPC support for the virDomainRestoreParams API qemu: add implementation for virDomainSaveParams API qemu: add implementation for virDomainRestoreParams API libvirt: add new VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARALLEL flag and parameter qemu: add stub support for VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARALLEL in save qemu: add stub support for VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARALLEL in restore qemu: saveimage: introduce virQEMUSaveFd qemu: wire up saveimage code with the multifd helper qemu: capabilities: add multifd to the probed migration capabilities qemu: implement qemuMigrationSrcToFilesMultiFd qemu: add parameter to qemuMigrationDstRun to skip waiting qemu: implement qemuSaveImageLoadMultiFd tools: add parallel parameter to virsh save command tools: add parallel parameter to virsh restore command docs: update refs to virDomainSaveParams and virDomainRestoreParams qemu: add migration parameter multifd-compression docs/formatsnapshot.rst | 5 +- docs/manpages/virsh.rst | 34 +- include/libvirt/libvirt-domain.h | 49 ++ po/POTFILES.in | 1 + src/driver-hypervisor.h | 14 + src/libvirt-domain.c | 99 +++- src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/libvirt_public.syms | 6 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 6 + src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 4 + src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 239 +++++++-- src/qemu/qemu_migration.c | 155 ++++-- src/qemu/qemu_migration.h | 16 +- src/qemu/qemu_migration_params.c | 71 ++- src/qemu/qemu_migration_params.h | 15 + src/qemu/qemu_process.c | 3 +- src/qemu/qemu_process.h | 5 +- src/qemu/qemu_saveimage.c | 496 ++++++++++++++---- src/qemu/qemu_saveimage.h | 49 +- src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c | 6 +- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 2 + src/remote/remote_protocol.x | 29 +- src/remote_protocol-structs | 17 + src/rpc/gendispatch.pl | 5 +- src/util/iohelper.c | 162 +----- src/util/meson.build | 19 + src/util/multifd-helper.c | 249 +++++++++ src/util/virfile.c | 218 ++++++++ src/util/virfile.h | 2 + src/util/virthread.c | 5 + src/util/virthread.h | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.aarch64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.0.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.riscv32.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.riscv64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.0.0.s390x.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.0.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.1.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.2.0.aarch64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.2.0.ppc64.xml | 1 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_4.2.0.s390x.xml | 1 + .../caps_4.2.0.x86_64.xml | 1 + .../caps_5.0.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.0.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.0.0.riscv64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.0.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.1.0.sparc.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.1.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.2.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.2.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.2.0.riscv64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_5.2.0.s390x.xml | 2 + .../caps_5.2.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.0.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_6.0.0.s390x.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.0.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.1.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.2.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_6.2.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_6.2.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + .../caps_7.0.0.aarch64.xml | 2 + .../qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_7.0.0.ppc64.xml | 2 + .../caps_7.0.0.x86_64.xml | 2 + tools/virsh-domain.c | 96 +++- 64 files changed, 1686 insertions(+), 446 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/util/multifd-helper.c -- 2.35.3
