This is the 7th 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 is sent as a separate series. As usuall, we provide two branch which one is 'colo-v1.4-basic', and the other is 'colo-v1.4-developing'. The 'basic' branch is exactly the same with this patch series (basic features of COLO). We will keep this series simple as possible, just for easy review. You can get the newest integrated qemu colo patches from github (Include Block part): https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v1.4-basic https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v1.4-developing (more features) Please NOTE the difference between these two branch. Colo-v1.4-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 'developing' branch, which you can get these stat info by using command 'info migrate'. About how to test COLO, Please reference to the follow link. http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/COLO. COLO is a totally new feature which is still in early stage, your comments and feedback are warmly welcomed. Cc: netfilter-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TODO: 1. 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 v7: - Remove the configuration limit for qemu-ifup script in slave - Rework colo-comm.c to use VMState instead of legacy way (saving/loading) - Only migrate colo state when enable colo capability, which also be compatible with older machine (Dave's suggestion) - Rework colo-failover.c, using state to record failover's different stage, which can also fix possible deadlock bug which could trigged during failover for secondary VM. - Rename migration-colo.h to colo.h, migration-failover.h to failover.h zhanghailiang (34): configure: Add parameter for configure to enable/disable COLO support migration: Introduce capability 'colo' to migration COLO: migrate colo related info to slave colo-comm/migration: skip colo info section for special cases 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: Introduce state to record failover process COLO failover: Implement COLO primary/secondary vm failover work qmp event: Add event notification for COLO error COLO failover: Don't do failover during loading VM's state COLO: Add new command parameter 'forward_nic' 'colo_script' for net COLO NIC: Init/remove colo nic devices when add/cleanup tap devices tap: Make launch_script() public COLO NIC: Implement colo nic device interface configure() colo-nic: Handle secondary VM's original net device 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 COLO: Add block replication into colo process configure | 33 +- docs/qmp/qmp-events.txt | 16 + hmp-commands.hx | 30 ++ hmp.c | 15 + hmp.h | 2 + hw/i386/pc_piix.c | 1 + hw/i386/pc_q35.c | 1 + hw/ppc/spapr.c | 1 + include/exec/cpu-all.h | 1 + include/migration/colo.h | 50 +++ include/migration/failover.h | 32 ++ include/migration/migration.h | 4 + include/migration/qemu-file.h | 3 +- include/net/colo-nic.h | 37 ++ include/net/net.h | 2 + include/net/tap.h | 19 + include/sysemu/sysemu.h | 3 + migration/Makefile.objs | 2 + migration/colo-comm.c | 84 +++++ migration/colo-failover.c | 78 ++++ migration/colo.c | 811 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ migration/migration.c | 86 ++++- migration/qemu-file-buf.c | 58 +++ migration/ram.c | 248 ++++++++++++- migration/savevm.c | 2 +- net/Makefile.objs | 1 + net/colo-nic.c | 457 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ net/net.c | 2 + net/tap.c | 90 +++-- qapi-schema.json | 58 ++- qapi/event.json | 15 + qemu-options.hx | 7 + qmp-commands.hx | 42 +++ scripts/colo-proxy-script.sh | 145 ++++++++ stubs/Makefile.objs | 1 + stubs/migration-colo.c | 58 +++ trace-events | 8 + vl.c | 37 +- 38 files changed, 2464 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/migration/colo.h create mode 100644 include/migration/failover.h create mode 100644 include/net/colo-nic.h create mode 100644 migration/colo-comm.c create mode 100644 migration/colo-failover.c create mode 100644 migration/colo.c create mode 100644 net/colo-nic.c create mode 100755 scripts/colo-proxy-script.sh create mode 100644 stubs/migration-colo.c -- 1.7.12.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
