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 VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_PRE_COPY state and kernel
driver should return -EINVAL from any other migration state.
Compared to the v1 clarification, STOP_COPY -> PRE_COPY is made optional
and to be defined in future. While making the whole PRE_COPY feature
optional eliminates the concern from mlx5, this is still a complicated arc
to implement and seems prudent to leave it closed until a proper use case
is developed. We also split the pending_bytes report into the initial and
sustaining values, and define the protocol to get an event via poll() for
new dirty data during PRE_COPY.
