migration/postcopy: Add postcopy-recover-setup phase This patch adds a migration state on src called "postcopy-recover-setup". The new state will describe the intermediate step starting from when the src QEMU received a postcopy recovery request, until the migration channels are properly established, but before the recovery process take place. The request came from Libvirt where Libvirt currently rely on the migration state events to detect migration state changes. That works for most of the migration process but except postcopy recovery failures at the beginning. Currently postcopy recovery only has two major states: - postcopy-paused: this is the state that both sides of QEMU will be in for a long time as long as the migration channel was interrupted. - postcopy-recover: this is the state where both sides of QEMU handshake with each other, preparing for a continuation of postcopy which used to be interrupted. The issue here is when the recovery port is invalid, the src QEMU will take the URI/channels, noticing the ports are not valid, and it'll silently keep in the postcopy-paused state, with no event sent to Libvirt. In this case, the only thing Libvirt can do is to poll the migration status with a proper interval, however that's less optimal. Considering that this is the only case where Libvirt won't get a notification from QEMU on such events, let's add postcopy-recover-setup state to mimic what we have with the "setup" state of a newly initialized migration, describing the phase of connection establishment. With that, postcopy recovery will have two paths to go now, and either path will guarantee an event generated. Now the events will look like this during a recovery process on src QEMU: - Initially when the recovery is initiated on src, QEMU will go from "postcopy-paused" -> "postcopy-recover-setup". Old QEMUs don't have this event. - Depending on whether the channel re-establishment is succeeded: - In succeeded case, src QEMU will move from "postcopy-recover-setup" to "postcopy-recover". Old QEMUs also have this event. - In failure case, src QEMU will move from "postcopy-recover-setup" to "postcopy-paused" again. Old QEMUs don't have this event. This guarantees that Libvirt will always receive a notification for recovery process properly. One thing to mention is, such new status is only needed on src QEMU not both. On dest QEMU, the state machine doesn't change. Hence the events don't change either. It's done like so because dest QEMU may not have an explicit point of setup start. E.g., it can happen that when dest QEMUs doesn't use migrate-recover command to use a new URI/channel, but the old URI/channels can be reused in recovery, in which case the old ports simply can work again after the network routes are fixed up. Add a new helper postcopy_is_paused() detecting whether postcopy is still paused, taking RECOVER_SETUP into account too. When using it on both src/dst, a slight change is done altogether to always wait for the semaphore before checking the status, because for both sides a sem_post() will be required for a recovery.

# @xbzrle: Migration supports xbzrle (Xor Based Zero Run Length

#
# @rdma-pin-all: Controls whether or not the entire VM memory
# footprint is mlock()'d on demand or all at once. Refer to
# docs/rdma.txt for usage. Disabled by default. (since 2.0)
#
# @zero-blocks: During storage migration encode blocks of zeroes
# efficiently. This essentially saves 1MB of zeroes per block on
# the wire. Enabling requires source and target VM to support
# this feature. To enable it is sufficient to enable the
# capability on the source VM. The feature is disabled by default.
# (since 1.6)
#
# @events: generate events for each migration state change (since 2.4)
#
# @auto-converge: If enabled, QEMU will automatically throttle down
# the guest to speed up convergence of RAM migration. (since 1.6)
#
# @postcopy-ram: Start executing on the migration target before all of
# RAM has been migrated, pulling the remaining pages along as
# needed. The capacity must have the same setting on both source
# and target or migration will not even start. NOTE: If the
# migration fails during postcopy the VM will fail. (since 2.6)
#
# @x-colo: If enabled, migration will never end, and the state of the
# VM on the primary side will be migrated continuously to the VM
# on secondary side, this process is called COarse-Grain LOck
# Stepping (COLO) for Non-stop Service. (since 2.8)
#
# @release-ram: if enabled, qemu will free the migrated ram pages on
# the source during postcopy-ram migration. (since 2.9)
#
# @return-path: If enabled, migration will use the return path even
# for precopy. (since 2.10)
#
# @pause-before-switchover: Pause outgoing migration before
# serialising device state and before disabling block IO (since
# 2.11)
#
# @multifd: Use more than one fd for migration (since 4.0)
#
# @dirty-bitmaps: If enabled, QEMU will migrate named dirty bitmaps.
# (since 2.12)
#
# @postcopy-blocktime: Calculate downtime for postcopy live migration
# (since 3.0)
#
# @late-block-activate: If enabled, the destination will not activate
# block devices (and thus take locks) immediately at the end of
# migration. (since 3.0)
#
# @x-ignore-shared: If enabled, QEMU will not migrate shared memory
# that is accessible on the destination machine. (since 4.0)
#
# @validate-uuid: Send the UUID of the source to allow the destination
# to ensure it is the same. (since 4.2)
#
# @background-snapshot: If enabled, the migration stream will be a
# snapshot of the VM exactly at the point when the migration
# procedure starts. The VM RAM is saved with running VM.
# (since 6.0)
#
# @zero-copy-send: Controls behavior on sending memory pages on
# migration. When true, enables a zero-copy mechanism for sending
# memory pages, if host supports it. Requires that QEMU be
# permitted to use locked memory for guest RAM pages. (since 7.1)
#
# @postcopy-preempt: If enabled, the migration process will allow
# postcopy requests to preempt precopy stream, so postcopy
# requests will be handled faster. This is a performance feature
# and should not affect the correctness of postcopy migration.
# (since 7.1)
#
migration: Add switchover ack capability Migration downtime estimation is calculated based on bandwidth and remaining migration data. This assumes that loading of migration data in the destination takes a negligible amount of time and that downtime depends only on network speed. While this may be true for RAM, it's not necessarily true for other migrated devices. For example, loading the data of a VFIO device in the destination might require from the device to allocate resources, prepare internal data structures and so on. These operations can take a significant amount of time which can increase migration downtime. This patch adds a new capability "switchover ack" that prevents the source from stopping the VM and completing the migration until an ACK is received from the destination that it's OK to do so. This can be used by migrated devices in various ways to reduce downtime. For example, a device can send initial precopy metadata to pre-allocate resources in the destination and use this capability to make sure that the pre-allocation is completed before the source VM is stopped, so it will have full effect. This new capability relies on the return path capability to communicate from the destination back to the source. The actual implementation of the capability will be added in the following patches.

#
# @cpr-reboot: The migrate command stops the VM and saves state to the
# URI. After quitting QEMU, the user resumes by running QEMU
# -incoming.
#
# This mode allows the user to quit QEMU, optionally update and
# reboot the OS, and restart QEMU. If the user reboots, the URI
# must persist across the reboot, such as by using a file.
#
# Unlike normal mode, the use of certain local storage options
# does not block the migration, but the user must not modify the
# contents of guest block devices between the quit and restart.
#
# This mode supports VFIO devices provided the user first puts the
# guest in the suspended runstate, such as by issuing
# guest-suspend-ram to the QEMU guest agent.
#
# Best performance is achieved when the memory backend is shared
# and the @x-ignore-shared migration capability is set, but this
# is not required. Further, if the user reboots before restarting
# such a configuration, the shared memory must persist across the
# reboot, such as by backing it with a dax device.

The caller must specify a migration URI that writes to and reads from a file. Unlike normal mode, the use of certain local storage options does not block the migration, but the caller must not modify guest block devices between the quit and restart. To avoid saving guest RAM to the file, the memory backend must be shared, and the @x-ignore-shared migration capability must be set. Guest RAM must be non-volatile across reboot, such as by backing it with a dax device, but this is not enforced. The restarted qemu arguments must match those used to initially start qemu, plus the -incoming option.

migration: Allow user to specify available switchover bandwidth Migration bandwidth is a very important value to live migration. It's because it's one of the major factors that we'll make decision on when to switchover to destination in a precopy process. This value is currently estimated by QEMU during the whole live migration process by monitoring how fast we were sending the data. This can be the most accurate bandwidth if in the ideal world, where we're always feeding unlimited data to the migration channel, and then it'll be limited to the bandwidth that is available. However in reality it may be very different, e.g., over a 10Gbps network we can see query-migrate showing migration bandwidth of only a few tens of MB/s just because there are plenty of other things the migration thread might be doing. For example, the migration thread can be busy scanning zero pages, or it can be fetching dirty bitmap from other external dirty sources (like vhost or KVM). It means we may not be pushing data as much as possible to migration channel, so the bandwidth estimated from "how many data we sent in the channel" can be dramatically inaccurate sometimes. With that, the decision to switchover will be affected, by assuming that we may not be able to switchover at all with such a low bandwidth, but in reality we can. The migration may not even converge at all with the downtime specified, with that wrong estimation of bandwidth, keeping iterations forever with a low estimation of bandwidth. The issue is QEMU itself may not be able to avoid those uncertainties on measuing the real "available migration bandwidth". At least not something I can think of so far. One way to fix this is when the user is fully aware of the available bandwidth, then we can allow the user to help providing an accurate value. For example, if the user has a dedicated channel of 10Gbps for migration for this specific VM, the user can specify this bandwidth so QEMU can always do the calculation based on this fact, trusting the user as long as specified. It may not be the exact bandwidth when switching over (in which case qemu will push migration data as fast as possible), but much better than QEMU trying to wildly guess, especially when very wrong. A new parameter "avail-switchover-bandwidth" is introduced just for this. So when the user specified this parameter, instead of trusting the estimated value from QEMU itself (based on the QEMUFile send speed), it trusts the user more by using this value to decide when to switchover, assuming that we'll have such bandwidth available then. Note that specifying this value will not throttle the bandwidth for switchover yet, so QEMU will always use the full bandwidth possible for sending switchover data, assuming that should always be the most important way to use the network at that time. This can resolve issues like "unconvergence migration" which is caused by hilarious low "migration bandwidth" detected for whatever reason.

migration: Allow user to specify available switchover bandwidth Migration bandwidth is a very important value to live migration. It's because it's one of the major factors that we'll make decision on when to switchover to destination in a precopy process. This value is currently estimated by QEMU during the whole live migration process by monitoring how fast we were sending the data. This can be the most accurate bandwidth if in the ideal world, where we're always feeding unlimited data to the migration channel, and then it'll be limited to the bandwidth that is available. However in reality it may be very different, e.g., over a 10Gbps network we can see query-migrate showing migration bandwidth of only a few tens of MB/s just because there are plenty of other things the migration thread might be doing. For example, the migration thread can be busy scanning zero pages, or it can be fetching dirty bitmap from other external dirty sources (like vhost or KVM). It means we may not be pushing data as much as possible to migration channel, so the bandwidth estimated from "how many data we sent in the channel" can be dramatically inaccurate sometimes. With that, the decision to switchover will be affected, by assuming that we may not be able to switchover at all with such a low bandwidth, but in reality we can. The migration may not even converge at all with the downtime specified, with that wrong estimation of bandwidth, keeping iterations forever with a low estimation of bandwidth. The issue is QEMU itself may not be able to avoid those uncertainties on measuing the real "available migration bandwidth". At least not something I can think of so far. One way to fix this is when the user is fully aware of the available bandwidth, then we can allow the user to help providing an accurate value. For example, if the user has a dedicated channel of 10Gbps for migration for this specific VM, the user can specify this bandwidth so QEMU can always do the calculation based on this fact, trusting the user as long as specified. It may not be the exact bandwidth when switching over (in which case qemu will push migration data as fast as possible), but much better than QEMU trying to wildly guess, especially when very wrong. A new parameter "avail-switchover-bandwidth" is introduced just for this. So when the user specified this parameter, instead of trusting the estimated value from QEMU itself (based on the QEMUFile send speed), it trusts the user more by using this value to decide when to switchover, assuming that we'll have such bandwidth available then. Note that specifying this value will not throttle the bandwidth for switchover yet, so QEMU will always use the full bandwidth possible for sending switchover data, assuming that should always be the most important way to use the network at that time. This can resolve issues like "unconvergence migration" which is caused by hilarious low "migration bandwidth" detected for whatever reason.

migration: Allow user to specify available switchover bandwidth Migration bandwidth is a very important value to live migration. It's because it's one of the major factors that we'll make decision on when to switchover to destination in a precopy process. This value is currently estimated by QEMU during the whole live migration process by monitoring how fast we were sending the data. This can be the most accurate bandwidth if in the ideal world, where we're always feeding unlimited data to the migration channel, and then it'll be limited to the bandwidth that is available. However in reality it may be very different, e.g., over a 10Gbps network we can see query-migrate showing migration bandwidth of only a few tens of MB/s just because there are plenty of other things the migration thread might be doing. For example, the migration thread can be busy scanning zero pages, or it can be fetching dirty bitmap from other external dirty sources (like vhost or KVM). It means we may not be pushing data as much as possible to migration channel, so the bandwidth estimated from "how many data we sent in the channel" can be dramatically inaccurate sometimes. With that, the decision to switchover will be affected, by assuming that we may not be able to switchover at all with such a low bandwidth, but in reality we can. The migration may not even converge at all with the downtime specified, with that wrong estimation of bandwidth, keeping iterations forever with a low estimation of bandwidth. The issue is QEMU itself may not be able to avoid those uncertainties on measuing the real "available migration bandwidth". At least not something I can think of so far. One way to fix this is when the user is fully aware of the available bandwidth, then we can allow the user to help providing an accurate value. For example, if the user has a dedicated channel of 10Gbps for migration for this specific VM, the user can specify this bandwidth so QEMU can always do the calculation based on this fact, trusting the user as long as specified. It may not be the exact bandwidth when switching over (in which case qemu will push migration data as fast as possible), but much better than QEMU trying to wildly guess, especially when very wrong. A new parameter "avail-switchover-bandwidth" is introduced just for this. So when the user specified this parameter, instead of trusting the estimated value from QEMU itself (based on the QEMUFile send speed), it trusts the user more by using this value to decide when to switchover, assuming that we'll have such bandwidth available then. Note that specifying this value will not throttle the bandwidth for switchover yet, so QEMU will always use the full bandwidth possible for sending switchover data, assuming that should always be the most important way to use the network at that time.

migration/calc-dirty-rate: millisecond-granularity period This patch allows to measure dirty page rate for sub-second intervals of time. An optional argument is introduced -- calc-time-unit. For example: {"execute": "calc-dirty-rate", "arguments": {"calc-time": 500, "calc-time-unit": "millisecond"} } Millisecond granularity allows to make predictions whether migration will succeed or not. To do this, calculate dirty rate with calc-time set to max allowed downtime (e.g. 300ms), convert measured rate into volume of dirtied memory, and divide by network throughput. If the value is lower than max allowed downtime, then migration will converge.

# @calc-dirty-rate:
#
# Start measuring dirty page rate of the VM. Results can be retrieved
# with @query-dirty-rate after measurements are completed.
#
# Dirty page rate is the number of pages changed in a given time
# period expressed in MiB/s. The following methods of calculation are
# available:
#
# 1. In page sampling mode, a random subset of pages are selected and
# hashed twice: once at the beginning of measurement time period,
# and once again at the end. If two hashes for some page are
# different, the page is counted as changed. Since this method
# relies on sampling and hashing, calculated dirty page rate is
# only an estimate of its true value. Increasing @sample-pages
# improves estimation quality at the cost of higher computational
# overhead.
#
# 2. Dirty bitmap mode captures writes to memory (for example by
# temporarily revoking write access to all pages) and counting page
# faults. Information about modified pages is collected into a
# bitmap, where each bit corresponds to one guest page. This mode
# requires that KVM accelerator property "dirty-ring-size" is *not*
# set.
#
# 3. Dirty ring mode is similar to dirty bitmap mode, but the
# information about modified pages is collected into ring buffer.
# This mode tracks page modification per each vCPU separately. It
# requires that KVM accelerator property "dirty-ring-size" is set.

To do this, calculate dirty rate with calc-time set to max allowed downtime (e.g. 300ms), convert measured rate into volume of dirtied memory, and divide by network throughput. If the value is lower than max allowed downtime, then migration will converge.

# @tag: name of the snapshot to load.

migration: introduce snapshot-{save, load, delete} QMP commands savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics around choice of disks were ill-defined. Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the "human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to all real world usage. Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using QAPI modelling is highly desirable. This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts.
