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

 



Hi all,
I hope you’ll forgive me if this disturb you. Since it has been almost two
months since the latest patch was sent out, I didn't receive any reply, so I
rebase the latest master branch and sent it again. I am looking forward to
getting your response.

Best regards,
Jiqian Chen

v3:
Hi all,
Thanks for Gerd Hoffmann's advice. V3 makes below changes:
* Use enum for freeze mode, so this can be extended with more
  modes in the future.
* Rename functions and paratemers with "_S3" postfix.
And no functional changes.

V4(latest version) of Qemu patch:

v2:
Hi all,
Thanks to Marc-André Lureau, Robert Beckett and Gerd Hoffmann for their advice
and guidance. V2 makes below changes:
* Change VIRTIO_CPU_CMD_STATUS_FREEZING to 0x0400 (<0x1000)
* Add a new feature flag VIRTIO_GPU_F_FREEZING, so that guest and
  host can negotiate whenever freezing is supported or not.

v1:
Hi all,
I am working to implement virtgpu S3 function on Xen.

Currently on Xen, if we start a guest who enables virtgpu, and then run "echo mem >
/sys/power/state" to suspend guest. And run "sudo xl trigger <guest id> s3resume"
to resume guest. We can find that the guest kernel comes back, but the display
doesn't. It just shows a black screen.

In response to the above phenomenon, I have found two problems.

First, if we move mouse on the black screen, guest kernel still sends a cursor
request to Qemu, but Qemu doesn't response. Because when guest is suspending, it
calls device_suspend, and then call into Qemu to call
virtio_reset->__virtio_queue_reset. In __virtio_queue_reset, it clears all virtqueue
information on Qemu end. So, after guest resumes, Qemu can't get message from
virtqueue.

Second, the reason why display can't come back is that when guest is suspending, it
calls into Qemu to call virtio_reset->virtio_gpu_gl_reset. In virtio_gpu_gl_reset,
it destroys all resources and resets renderer, which are used for display. So after
guest resumes, the display can't come back to the status when guest is suspended.

This patch initializes virtqueue when guest is resuming to solve first problem. And
it notifies Qemu that guest is suspending to prevent Qemu destroying resources, this
is to solve second problem. And then, I can bring the display back, and everything
continues their actions after guest resumes.
