[PATCH RESEND v2 0/4] multiple memory backend support for CPR Live Updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Michael Galaxy <mgalaxy@xxxxxxxxxx>

CPR-based support for whole-hypervisor kexec-based live updates is
now finally merged into QEMU. In support of this, we need NUMA to be
supported in these kinds of environments. To do this we use a technology
called PMEM (persistent memory) in Linux, which underpins the ability for
CPR Live Updates to work so that QEMU memory can remain in RAM and
be recovered after a kexec operationg has completed. Our systems are highly
NUMA-aware, and so this patch series enables NUMA awareness for live updates.

Further, we make a small change that allows live migrations to work
between *non* PMEM-based systems and PMEM-based systems (and
vice-versa). This allows for seemless upgrades from non-live-compatible
systems to live-update-compatible sytems without any downtime.

Michael Galaxy (4):
  qemu.conf changes to support multiple memory backend
  Support live migration between file-backed memory and anonymous
    memory.
  Update unit test to support multiple memory backends
  Update documentation to reflect memory_backing_dir change in qemu.conf
