To prepare for thread-safety on page accountings, at least below counters
need to be accessed only atomically, they are:
ram_counters.transferred
ram_counters.duplicate
ram_counters.normal
ram_counters.postcopy_bytes
There are a lot of other counters but they won't be accessed outside
migration thread, then they're still safe to be accessed without atomic

Don't take the bitmap mutex when sending pages, or when being throttled by
migration_rate_limit() (which is a bit tricky to call it here in ram code,
but seems still helpful).
It prepares for the possibility of concurrently sending pages in >1 threads
using the function ram_save_host_page() because all threads may need the
bitmap_mutex to operate on bitmaps, so that either sendmsg() or any kind of
qemu_sem_wait() blocking for one thread will not block the other from

Compression code by default isn't compatible with having >1 channels (or it

Multifd thread model does not work for compression, explicitly disable it.
Note that previuosly even we can enable both of them, nothing will go

will just be ignored. Now we'll fail even earlier at config time so the
user should be aware of the consequence better.
Note that there can be a slight chance of breaking existing users, but
let's assume they're not majority and not serious users, or they should
have found that multifd is not working already.
With that, we can safely drop the check in ram_save_target_page() for using

In qemu_file_shutdown(), there's a possible race if with current order of
operation. There're two major things to do:
(1) Do real shutdown() (e.g. shutdown() syscall on socket)
(2) Update qemufile's last_error
We must do (2) before (1) otherwise there can be a race condition like:
page receiver other thread
------------- ------------
qemu_get_buffer()
do shutdown()
returns 0 (buffer all zero)
(meanwhile we didn't check this retcode)
try to detect IO error
last_error==NULL, IO okay
install ALL-ZERO page
set last_error
--> guest crash!
To fix this, we can also check retval of qemu_get_buffer(), but not all
APIs can be properly checked and ultimately we still need to go back to
qemu_file_get_error(). E.g. qemu_get_byte() doesn't return error.
Maybe some day a rework of qemufile API is really needed, but for now keep
using qemu_file_get_error() and fix it by not allowing that race condition
to happen. Here shutdown() is indeed special because the last_error was
emulated. For real -EIO errors it'll always be set when e.g. sendmsg()
error triggers so we won't miss those ones, only shutdown() is a bit tricky
here.

Migration with zero-copy-send currently has it's limitations, as it can't
be used with TLS nor any kind of compression. In such scenarios, it should
output errors during parameter / capability setting.
But currently there are some ways of setting this not-supported scenarios
without printing the error message:
!) For 'compression' capability, it works by enabling it together with
zero-copy-send. This happens because the validity test for zero-copy uses
the helper unction migrate_use_compression(), which check for compression
presence in s->enabled_capabilities[MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_COMPRESS].
The point here is: the validity test happens before the capability gets
enabled. If all of them get enabled together, this test will not return
error.
In order to fix that, replace migrate_use_compression() by directly testing
the cap_list parameter migrate_caps_check().
2) For features enabled by parameters such as TLS & 'multifd_compression',
there was also a possibility of setting non-supported scenarios: setting
zero-copy-send first, then setting the unsupported parameter.
In order to fix that, also add a check for parameters conflicting with
zero-copy-send on migrate_params_check().
3) XBZRLE is also a compression capability, so it makes sense to also add
it to the list of capabilities which are not supported with zero-copy-send.

With preemption mode on, when we see a postcopy request that was requesting
for exactly the page that we have preempted before (so we've partially sent
the page already via PRECOPY channel and it got preempted by another
postcopy request), currently we drop the request so that after all the
other postcopy requests are serviced then we'll go back to precopy stream
and start to handle that.
We dropped the request because we can't send it via postcopy channel since
the precopy channel already contains partial of the data, and we can only
send a huge page via one channel as a whole. We can't split a huge page
into two channels.
That's a very corner case and that works, but there's a change on the order
of postcopy requests that we handle since we're postponing this (unlucky)
postcopy request to be later than the other queued postcopy requests. The
problem is there's a possibility that when the guest was very busy, the
postcopy queue can be always non-empty, it means this dropped request will
never be handled until the end of postcopy migration. So, there's a chance
that there's one dest QEMU vcpu thread waiting for a page fault for an
extremely long time just because it's unluckily accessing the specific page
that was preempted before.
The worst case time it needs can be as long as the whole postcopy migration
procedure. It's extremely unlikely to happen, but when it happens it's not
good.
The root cause of this problem is because we treat pss->postcopy_requested
variable as with two meanings bound together, as the variable shows:
1. Whether this page request is urgent, and,
2. Which channel we should use for this page request.
With the old code, when we set postcopy_requested it means either both (1)
and (2) are true, or both (1) and (2) are false. We can never have (1)
and (2) to have different values.
However it doesn't necessarily need to be like that. It's very legal that
there's one request that has (1) very high urgency, but (2) we'd like to
use the precopy channel. Just like the corner case we were discussing
above.
To differenciate the two meanings better, introduce a new field called
postcopy_target_channel, showing which channel we should use for this page
request, so as to cover the old meaning (2) only. Then we leave the
postcopy_requested variable to stand only for meaning (1), which is the
urgency of this page request.
With this change, we can easily boost priority of a preempted precopy page
as long as we know that page is also requested as a postcopy page. So with
the new approach in get_queued_page() instead of dropping that request, we
send it right away with the precopy channel so we get back the ordering of
the page faults just like how they're requested on dest.

It's useful for specifying tls credentials all in the cmdline (along with
the -object tls-creds-*), especially for debugging purpose.
The trick here is we must remember to not free these fields again in the
finalize() function of migration object, otherwise it'll cause double-free.
The thing is when destroying an object, we'll first destroy the properties
that bound to the object, then the object itself. To be explicit, when
destroy the object in object_finalize() we have such sequence of
operations:
object_property_del_all(obj);
object_deinit(obj, ti);
So after this change the two fields are properly released already even
before reaching the finalize() function but in object_property_del_all(),
hence we don't need to free them anymore in finalize() or it's double-free.
This also fixes a trivial memory leak for tls-authz as we forgot to free it

This patch allows the postcopy preempt channel to be created
asynchronously. The benefit is that when the connection is slow, we won't
take the BQL (and potentially block all things like QMP) for a long time
without releasing.
A function postcopy_preempt_wait_channel() is introduced, allowing the
migration thread to be able to wait on the channel creation. The channel
is always created by the main thread, in which we'll kick a new semaphore
to tell the migration thread that the channel has created.
We'll need to wait for the new channel in two places: (1) when there's a
new postcopy migration that is starting, or (2) when there's a postcopy
migration to resume.
For the start of migration, we don't need to wait for this channel until
when we want to start postcopy, aka, postcopy_start(). We'll fail the
migration if we found that the channel creation failed (which should
probably not happen at all in 99% of the cases, because the main channel is
using the same network topology).
For a postcopy recovery, we'll need to wait in postcopy_pause(). In that
case if the channel creation failed, we can't fail the migration or we'll
crash the VM, instead we keep in PAUSED state, waiting for yet another
recovery.

To allow postcopy recovery, the ram fast load (preempt-only) dest QEMU thread
needs similar handling on fault tolerance. When ram_load_postcopy() fails,
instead of stopping the thread it halts with a semaphore, preparing to be
kicked again when recovery is detected.
A mutex is introduced to make sure there's no concurrent operation upon the
socket. To make it simple, the fast ram load thread will take the mutex during
its whole procedure, and only release it if it's paused. The fast-path socket
will be properly released by the main loading thread safely when there's
network failures during postcopy with that mutex held.

PRECOPY channel, which is the default channel that transfers background pages;
and (2) POSTCOPY channel, which only transfers requested pages.
There's no strict rule of which channel to use, e.g., if a requested page is
already being transferred on precopy channel, then we will keep using the same
precopy channel to transfer the page even if it's explicitly requested. In 99%
of the cases we'll prioritize the channels so we send requested page via the
postcopy channel as long as possible.
On the source QEMU, when we found a postcopy request, we'll interrupt the
PRECOPY channel sending process and quickly switch to the POSTCOPY channel.
After we serviced all the high priority postcopy pages, we'll switch back to
PRECOPY channel so that we'll continue to send the interrupted huge page again.
There's no new thread introduced on src QEMU.
On the destination QEMU, one new thread is introduced to receive page data from
the postcopy specific socket (done in the preparation patch).
This patch has a side effect: after sending postcopy pages, previously we'll
assume the guest will access follow up pages so we'll keep sending from there.
Now it's changed. Instead of going on with a postcopy requested page, we'll go
back and continue sending the precopy huge page (which can be intercepted by a
postcopy request so the huge page can be sent partially before).
Whether that's a problem is debatable, because "assuming the guest will
continue to access the next page" may not really suite when huge pages are
used, especially if the huge page is large (e.g. 1GB pages). So that locality
hint is much meaningless if huge pages are used.

Create a new socket for postcopy to be prepared to send postcopy requested
pages via this specific channel, so as to not get blocked by precopy pages.
A new thread is also created on dest qemu to receive data from this new channel
based on the ram_load_postcopy() routine.
The ram_load_postcopy(POSTCOPY) branch and the thread has not started to
function, and that'll be done in follow up patches.
Cleanup the new sockets on both src/dst QEMUs, meanwhile look after the new
thread too to make sure it'll be recycled properly.

dgilbert: With Peter's fix to quieten compiler warning on
start_migration
Firstly, postcopy already preempts precopy due to the fact that we do
unqueue_page() first before looking into dirty bits.
However that's not enough, e.g., when there're host huge page enabled, when
sending a precopy huge page, a postcopy request needs to wait until the whole
huge page that is sending to finish. That could introduce quite some delay,
the bigger the huge page is the larger delay it'll bring.
This patch adds a new capability to allow postcopy requests to preempt existing
precopy page during sending a huge page, so that postcopy requests can be
serviced even faster.
Meanwhile to send it even faster, bypass the precopy stream by providing a
standalone postcopy socket for sending requested pages.
Since the new behavior will not be compatible with the old behavior, this will
not be the default, it's enabled only when the new capability is set on both
src/dst QEMUs.
This patch only adds the capability itself, the logic will be added in follow
up patches.

zlib_send_prepare() compresses pages of a running VM. zlib does not
make any thread-safety guarantees with respect to changing deflate()
input concurrently with deflate() [1].
One can observe problems due to this with the IBM zEnterprise Data
Compression accelerator capable zlib [2]. When the hardware
acceleration is enabled, migration/multifd/tcp/plain/zlib test fails
intermittently [3] due to sliding window corruption. The accelerator's
architecture explicitly discourages concurrent accesses [4]:
Page 26-57, "Other Conditions":
As observed by this CPU, other CPUs, and channel
programs, references to the parameter block, first,
second, and third operands may be multiple-access
references, accesses to these storage locations are
not necessarily block-concurrent, and the sequence
of these accesses or references is undefined.
Mark Adler pointed out that vanilla zlib performs double fetches under
certain circumstances as well [5], therefore we need to copy data
before passing it to deflate().
