[RFC v2] Export KVM Host Power Management capabilities

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

 



This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.

The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.

Eg: When the host supports both S3 and S4, the XML looks like this:

<capabilities>

  <host>
    <uuid>dc699581-48a2-11cb-b8a8-9a0265a79bbe</uuid>
    <cpu>
      <arch>i686</arch>
      <model>coreduo</model>
      <vendor>Intel</vendor>
      <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
      <feature name='xtpr'/>
      <feature name='tm2'/>
      <feature name='est'/>
      <feature name='vmx'/>
      <feature name='pbe'/>
      <feature name='tm'/>
      <feature name='ht'/>
      <feature name='ss'/>
      <feature name='acpi'/>
      <feature name='ds'/>
    </cpu>
    <power_management>         <<<=== New host power management features
      <S3/>
      <S4/>
    </power_management>
    <migration_features>
      <live/>
      <uri_transports>
        <uri_transport>tcp</uri_transport>
      </uri_transports>
    </migration_features>
  </host>
     .
     .
     .

However in case the host does not support any power management feature,
then the XML will not contain the <power_management> tag.

The initial discussion about this patch was done in [1]. And the choice
to name the new tag as "power_management" was discussed in [2].

Please let me know your comments and feedback.
