[PATCH COLO-Frame v5 00/29] COarse-grain LOck-stepping(COLO) Virtual Machines for Non-stop Service

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

 



This is the 5th version of COLO, here is only COLO frame part, include: VM checkpoint,
failover, proxy API, block replication API, not include block replication.
The block part has been sent by wencongyang:
"[Qemu-devel] [PATCH COLO-Block v5 00/15] Block replication for continuous checkpoints"

we have finished some new features and optimization on COLO (As a development branch in github),
but for easy of review, it is better to keep it simple now, so we will not add too much new 
codes into this frame patch set before it been totally reviewed. 

You can get the latest integrated qemu colo patches from github (Include Block part):
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v1.2-basic
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v1.2-developing (more features)

Please NOTE the difference between these two branch.
colo-v1.2-basic is exactly same with this patch series, which has basic features of COLO.
Compared with colo-v1.2-basic, colo-v1.2-developing has some optimization in the 
process of checkpoint, including: 
   1) separate ram and device save/load process to reduce size of extra memory
      used during checkpoint
   2) live migrate part of dirty pages to slave during sleep time.
Besides, we add some statistic info in colo-v1.2-developing, which you can get these stat
info by using command 'info migrate'.

You can test any branch of the above, 
about how to test COLO, Please reference to the follow link.
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/COLO.

COLO is still in early stage, 
your comments and feedback are warmly welcomed.

TODO:
1. Strengthen failover
2. COLO function switch on/off
2. Optimize proxy part, include proxy script.
  1) Remove the limitation of forward network link.
  2) Reuse the nfqueue_entry and NF_STOLEN to enqueue skb
3. The capability of continuous FT

v5:
- Replace the previous communication way between proxy and qemu with nfnetlink
- Remove the 'forward device'parameter of xt_PMYCOLO, and now we use iptables command
to set the 'forward device'
- Turn DPRINTF into trace_ calls as Dave's suggestion

v4:
- New block replication scheme (use image-fleecing for sencondary side)
- Adress some comments from Eric Blake and Dave
- Add commmand colo-set-checkpoint-period to set the time of periodic checkpoint
- Add a delay (100ms) between continuous checkpoint requests to ensure VM
  run 100ms at least since last pause.
v3:
- use proxy instead of colo agent to compare network packets
- add block replication
- Optimize failover disposal
- handle shutdown

v2:
- use QEMUSizedBuffer/QEMUFile as COLO buffer
- colo support is enabled by default
- add nic replication support
- addressed comments from Eric Blake and Dr. David Alan Gilbert

v1:
- implement the frame of colo

Wen Congyang (1):
  COLO: Add block replication into colo process

zhanghailiang (28):
  configure: Add parameter for configure to enable/disable COLO support
  migration: Introduce capability 'colo' to migration
  COLO: migrate colo related info to slave
  migration: Integrate COLO checkpoint process into migration
  migration: Integrate COLO checkpoint process into loadvm
  COLO: Implement colo checkpoint protocol
  COLO: Add a new RunState RUN_STATE_COLO
  QEMUSizedBuffer: Introduce two help functions for qsb
  COLO: Save VM state to slave when do checkpoint
  COLO RAM: Load PVM's dirty page into SVM's RAM cache temporarily
  COLO VMstate: Load VM state into qsb before restore it
  arch_init: Start to trace dirty pages of SVM
  COLO RAM: Flush cached RAM into SVM's memory
  COLO failover: Introduce a new command to trigger a failover
  COLO failover: Implement COLO master/slave failover work
  COLO failover: Don't do failover during loading VM's state
  COLO: Add new command parameter 'colo_nicname' 'colo_script' for net
  COLO NIC: Init/remove colo nic devices when add/cleanup tap devices
  COLO NIC: Implement colo nic device interface configure()
  COLO NIC : Implement colo nic init/destroy function
  COLO NIC: Some init work related with proxy module
  COLO: Handle nfnetlink message from proxy module
  COLO: Do checkpoint according to the result of packets comparation
  COLO: Improve checkpoint efficiency by do additional periodic
    checkpoint
  COLO: Add colo-set-checkpoint-period command
  COLO NIC: Implement NIC checkpoint and failover
  COLO: Disable qdev hotplug when VM is in COLO mode
  COLO: Implement shutdown checkpoint
