From: Peng Tao <tao.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> By removing the share ram check, qemu is able to migrate to private destination ram when x-ignore-shared capability is on. Then we can create multiple destination VMs based on the same source VM. This changes the x-ignore-shared migration capability to work similar to Lai's original bypass-shared-memory work(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-04/msg00003.html) which enables kata containers (https://katacontainers.io) to implement the VM templating feature. An example usage in kata containers(https://katacontainers.io): 1. Start the source VM: qemu-system-x86 -m 2G \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=2G,share=on,mem-path=/tmpfs/template-memory \ -numa node,memdev=mem0 2. Stop the template VM, set migration x-ignore-shared capability, migrate "exec:cat>/tmpfs/state", quit it 3. Start target VM: qemu-system-x86 -m 2G \ -object memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=2G,share=off,mem-path=/tmpfs/template-memory \ -numa node,memdev=mem0 \ -incoming defer 4. connect to target VM qmp, set migration x-ignore-shared capability, migrate_incoming "exec:cat /tmpfs/state" 5. create more target VMs repeating 3 and 4 Cc: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Yury Kotov <yury-kotov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jiangshan Lai <laijs@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Xu Wang <xu@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peng Tao <tao.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-Id: <1560494113-1141-1-git-send-email-tao.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@xxxxxxxxxx> --- migration/ram.c | 7 ------- 1 file changed, 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/migration/ram.c b/migration/ram.c index 8a6ad61d3d..8622b4dc49 100644 --- a/migration/ram.c +++ b/migration/ram.c @@ -3426,7 +3426,6 @@ static int ram_save_setup(QEMUFile *f, void *opaque) } if (migrate_ignore_shared()) { qemu_put_be64(f, block->mr->addr); - qemu_put_byte(f, ramblock_is_ignored(block) ? 1 : 0); } } @@ -4393,12 +4392,6 @@ static int ram_load(QEMUFile *f, void *opaque, int version_id) } if (migrate_ignore_shared()) { hwaddr addr = qemu_get_be64(f); - bool ignored = qemu_get_byte(f); - if (ignored != ramblock_is_ignored(block)) { - error_report("RAM block %s should %s be migrated", - id, ignored ?
