Now with rs->pss we can already cache channels in pss->pss_channels. That
pss_channel contains more infromation than rs->f because it's per-channel.
So rs->f could be replaced by rss->pss[RAM_CHANNEL_PRECOPY].pss_channel,
while rs->f itself is a bit vague now.
Note that vanilla postcopy still send pages via pss[RAM_CHANNEL_PRECOPY],
that's slightly confusing but it reflects the reality.
Then, after the replacement we can safely drop rs->f.

With the new code to send pages in rp-return thread, there's little help to
keep lots of the old code on maintaining the preempt state in migration
thread, because the new way should always be faster..
Then if we'll always send pages in the rp-return thread anyway, we don't
need those logic to maintain preempt state anymore because now we serialize
things using the mutex directly instead of using those fields.
It's very unfortunate to have those code for a short period, but that's
still one intermediate step that we noticed the next bottleneck on the
migration thread. Now what we can do best is to drop unnecessary code as
long as the new code is stable to reduce the burden. It's actually a good
thing because the new "sending page in rp-return thread" model is (IMHO)
even cleaner and with better performance.
Remove the old code that was responsible for maintaining preempt states, at
the meantime also remove x-postcopy-preempt-break-huge parameter because
with concurrent sender threads we don't really need to break-huge anymore.

With all the facilities ready, send the requested page directly in the
rp-return thread rather than queuing it in the request queue, if and only
if postcopy preempt is enabled. It can achieve so because it uses separate
channel for sending urgent pages. The only shared data is bitmap and it's
protected by the bitmap_mutex.
Note that since we're moving the ownership of the urgent channel from the
migration thread to rp thread it also means the rp thread is responsible
for managing the qemufile, e.g. properly close it when pausing migration
happens. For this, let migration_release_from_dst_file to cover shutdown
of the urgent channel too, renaming it as migration_release_dst_files() to
better show what it does.

We used to allocate PSS structure on the stack for precopy when sending
pages. Make it static, so as to describe per-channel ram migration status.
Here we declared RAM_CHANNEL_MAX instances, preparing for postcopy to use
it, even though this patch has not yet to start using the 2nd instance.
This should not have any functional change per se, but it already starts to
export PSS information via the RAMState, so that e.g. one PSS channel can
start to reference the other PSS channel.
Always protect PSS access using the same RAMState.bitmap_mutex. We already
do so, so no code change needed, just some comment update. Maybe we should
consider renaming bitmap_mutex some day as it's going to be a more commonly
and big mutex we use for ram states, but just leave it for later.

Introduce pss_channel for PageSearchStatus, define it as "the migration
channel to be used to transfer this host page".
We used to have rs->f, which is a mirror to MigrationState.to_dst_file.
After postcopy preempt initial version, rs->f can be dynamically changed
depending on which channel we want to use.
But that later work still doesn't grant full concurrency of sending pages
in e.g. different threads, because rs->f can either be the PRECOPY channel
or POSTCOPY channel. This needs to be per-thread too.
PageSearchStatus is actually a good piece of struct which we can leverage
if we want to have multiple threads sending pages. Sending a single guest
page may not make sense, so we make the granule to be "host page", and in
the PSS structure we allow specify a QEMUFile* to migrate a specific host
page. Then we open the possibility to specify different channels in
different threads with different PSS structures.
The PSS prefix can be slightly misleading here because e.g. for the
upcoming usage of postcopy channel/thread it's not "searching" (or,
scanning) at all but sending the explicit page that was requested. However
since PSS existed for some years keep it as-is until someone complains.
This patch mostly (simply) replace rs->f with pss->pss_channel only. No
functional change intended for this patch yet. But it does prepare to
finally drop rs->f, and make ram_save_guest_page() thread safe.

Migration code has a lot to do with host pages. Teaching PSS core about
the idea of host page helps a lot and makes the code clean. Meanwhile,
this prepares for the future changes that can leverage the new PSS helpers
that this patch introduces to send host page in another thread.
Three more fields are introduced for this:
(1) host_page_sending: this is set to true when QEMU is sending a host
page, false otherwise.
(2) host_page_{start|end}: these point to the start/end of host page
we're sending, and it's only valid when host_page_sending==true.
For example, when we look up the next dirty page on the ramblock, with
host_page_sending==true, we'll not try to look for anything beyond the
current host page boundary. This can be slightly efficient than current
code because currently we'll set pss->page to next dirty bit (which can be
over current host page boundary) and reset it to host page boundary if we
found it goes beyond that.
With above, we can easily make migration_bitmap_find_dirty() self contained
by updating pss->page properly. rs* parameter is removed because it's not
even used in old code.
When sending a host page, we should use the pss helpers like this:
- pss_host_page_prepare(pss): called before sending host page
- pss_within_range(pss): whether we're still working on the cur host page?
- pss_host_page_finish(pss): called after sending a host page
Then we can use ram_save_target_page() to save one small page.
Currently ram_save_host_page() is still the only user. If there'll be
another function to send host page (e.g. in return path thread) in the
future, it should follow the same style.

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.

This patch enables postcopy-preempt feature.
It contains two major changes to the migration logic:
(1) Postcopy requests are now sent via a different socket from precopy
background migration stream, so as to be isolated from very high page
request delays.
(2) For huge page enabled hosts: when there's postcopy requests, they can now
intercept a partial sending of huge host pages on src QEMU.
After this patch, we'll live migrate a VM with two channels for postcopy: (1)
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.

dgilbert: Fix up long line
Postcopy handles huge pages in a special way that currently we can only have
one "channel" to transfer the page.
It's because when we install pages using UFFDIO_COPY, we need to have the whole
huge page ready, it also means we need to have a temp huge page when trying to
receive the whole content of the page.
Currently all maintainance around this tmp page is global: firstly we'll
allocate a temp huge page, then we maintain its status mostly within
ram_load_postcopy().
To enable multiple channels for postcopy, the first thing we need to do is to
prepare N temp huge pages as caching, one for each channel.
Meanwhile we need to maintain the tmp huge page status per-channel too.
To give some example, some local variables maintained in ram_load_postcopy()
are listed; they are responsible for maintaining temp huge page status:
- all_zero: this keeps whether this huge page contains all zeros
- target_pages: this counts how many target pages have been copied
- host_page: this keeps the host ptr for the page to install
Move all these fields to be together with the temp huge pages to form a new
structure called PostcopyTmpPage. Then for each (future) postcopy channel, we
need one structure to keep the state around.
For vanilla postcopy, obviously there's only one channel. It contains both
precopy and postcopy pages.
This patch teaches the dest migration node to start realize the possible number
of postcopy channels by introducing the "postcopy_channels" variable. Its
value is calculated when setup postcopy on dest node (during POSTCOPY_LISTEN
phase).
Vanilla postcopy will have channels=1, but when postcopy-preempt capability is
enabled (in the future), we will boost it to 2 because even during partial
sending of a precopy huge page we still want to preempt it and start sending
the postcopy requested page right away (so we start to keep two temp huge
pages; more if we want to enable multifd). In this patch there's a TODO marked
for that; so far the channels is always set to 1.
We need to send one "host huge page" on one channel only and we cannot split
them, because otherwise the data upon the same huge page can locate on more
than one channel so we need more complicated logic to manage. One temp host
huge page for each channel will be enough for us for now.
Postcopy will still always use the index=0 huge page even after this patch.
However it prepares for the latter patches where it can start to use multiple
channels (which needs src intervention, because only src knows which channel we
should use).

This patch simplifies unqueue_page() on both sides of it (itself, and caller).
Firstly, due to the fact that right after unqueue_page() returned true, we'll
definitely send a huge page (see ram_save_huge_page() call - it will _never_
exit before finish sending that huge page), so unqueue_page() does not need to
jump in small page size if huge page is enabled on the ramblock. IOW, it's
destined that only the 1st 4K page will be valid, when unqueue the 2nd+ time
we'll notice the whole huge page has already been sent anyway. Switching to
operating on huge page reduces a lot of the loops of redundant unqueue_page().
Meanwhile, drop the dirty check. It's not helpful to call test_bit() every
time to jump over clean pages, as ram_save_host_page() has already done so,
while in a faster way (see commit ba1b7c812c ("migration/ram: Optimize
ram_save_host_page()", 2021-05-13)). So that's not necessary too.
Drop the two tracepoints along the way - based on above analysis it's very
possible that no one is really using it..

Add a helper to detect whether postcopy has pending request.
Since at it, cleanup the code a bit, e.g. in unqueue_page() we shouldn't need
to check it again on queue empty because we're the only one (besides cleanup
code, which should never run during this process) that will take a request off
the list, so the request list can only grow but not shrink under the hood.

It will just never fail. Drop those return values where they're constantly

A tiny touch-up on the tracepoint so trace_ram_postcopy_send_discard_bitmap()
is called after the logic itself (which sounds more reasonable).

This function calls three functions:
- postcopy_discard_send_init(ms, block->idstr);
- postcopy_chunk_hostpages_pass(ms, block);
- postcopy_discard_send_finish(ms);
However only the 2nd function call is meaningful. It's major role is to make
sure dirty bits are applied in host-page-size granule, so there will be no
partial dirty bits set for a whole host page if huge pages are used.
The 1st/3rd call are for latter when we want to send the disgard ranges.
They're mostly no-op here besides some tracepoints (which are misleading!).
Drop them, then we can directly drop postcopy_chunk_hostpages() as a whole
because we can call postcopy_chunk_hostpages_pass() directly.
There're still some nice comments above postcopy_chunk_hostpages() that explain
what it does. Copy it over to the caller's site.
