[PATCH V2 vfio 02/14] vfio: Extend the device migration protocol with PRE_COPY

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

 



From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxx>

The optional PRE_COPY states open the saving data transfer FD before
reaching STOP_COPY and allows the device to dirty track internal state
changes with the general idea to reduce the volume of data transferred
in the STOP_COPY stage.

While in PRE_COPY the device remains RUNNING, but the saving FD is open.

Only if the device also supports RUNNING_P2P can it support PRE_COPY_P2P,
which halts P2P transfers while continuing the saving FD.

PRE_COPY, with P2P support, requires the driver to implement 7 new arcs
and exists as an optional FSM branch between RUNNING and STOP_COPY:
    RUNNING -> PRE_COPY -> PRE_COPY_P2P -> STOP_COPY

A new ioctl VFIO_MIG_GET_PRECOPY_INFO is provided to allow userspace to
query the progress of the precopy operation in the driver with the idea it
will judge to move to STOP_COPY at least once the initial data set is
transferred, and possibly after the dirty size has shrunk appropriately.

This ioctl is valid only in PRE_COPY states and kernel driver should
return -EINVAL from any other migration state.

Compared to the v1 clarification, STOP_COPY -> PRE_COPY is blocked
and to be defined in future.
We also split the pending_bytes report into the initial and sustaining
values, e.g.: initial_bytes and dirty_bytes.
initial_bytes: Amount of initial precopy data.
dirty_bytes: Device state changes relative to data previously retrieved.
These fields are not required to have any bearing to STOP_COPY phase.

It is recommended to leave PRE_COPY for STOP_COPY only after the
initial_bytes field reaches zero. Leaving PRE_COPY earlier might make
things slower.
