The qemu_update_position method name gives the misleading impression
that it is changing the current file offset. Most of the files are
just streams, however, so there's no concept of a file offset in the
general case.
What this method is actually used for is to report on the number of
bytes that have been transferred out of band from the main I/O methods.
This new name better reflects this purpose.

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

We already don't ever migrate memory that corresponds to discarded ranges
as managed by a RamDiscardManager responsible for the mapped memory region
of the RAMBlock.
virtio-mem uses this mechanism to logically unplug parts of a RAMBlock.
Right now, we still populate zeropages for the whole usable part of the
RAMBlock, which is undesired because:
1. Even populating the shared zeropage will result in memory getting
consumed for page tables.
2. Memory backends without a shared zeropage (like hugetlbfs and shmem)
will populate an actual, fresh page, resulting in an unintended
memory consumption.
Discarded ("logically unplugged") parts have to remain discarded. As
these pages are never part of the migration stream, there is no need to
track modifications via userfaultfd WP reliably for these parts.
Further, any writes to these ranges by the VM are invalid and the
behavior is undefined.
Note that Linux only supports userfaultfd WP on private anonymous memory
for now, which usually results in the shared zeropage getting populated.
The issue will become more relevant once userfaultfd WP supports shmem
and hugetlb.

Currently, when someone (i.e., the VM) accesses discarded parts inside a
RAMBlock with a RamDiscardManager managing the corresponding mapped memory
region, postcopy will request migration of the corresponding page from the
source. The source, however, will never answer, because it refuses to
migrate such pages with undefined content ("logically unplugged"): the
pages are never dirty, and get_queued_page() will consequently skip
processing these postcopy requests.
Especially reading discarded ("logically unplugged") ranges is supposed to
work in some setups (for example with current virtio-mem), although it
barely ever happens: still, not placing a page would currently stall the
VM, as it cannot make forward progress.
Let's check the state via the RamDiscardManager (the state e.g.,
of virtio-mem is migrated during precopy) and avoid sending a request
that will never get answered. Place a fresh zero page instead to keep
the VM working. This is the same behavior that would happen
automatically without userfaultfd being active, when accessing virtual
memory regions without populated pages -- "populate on demand".
For now, there are valid cases (as documented in the virtio-mem spec) where
a VM might read discarded memory; in the future, we will disallow that.
Then, we might want to handle that case differently, e.g., warning the
user that the VM seems to be mis-behaving.

We don't want to migrate memory that corresponds to discarded ranges as
managed by a RamDiscardManager responsible for the mapped memory region of
the RAMBlock. The content of these pages is essentially stale and
without any guarantees for the VM ("logically unplugged").
Depending on the underlying memory type, even reading memory might populate
memory on the source, resulting in an undesired memory consumption. Of
course, on the destination, even writing a zeropage consumes memory,
which we also want to avoid (similar to free page hinting).
Currently, virtio-mem tries achieving that goal (not migrating "unplugged"
memory that was discarded) by going via qemu_guest_free_page_hint() - but
it's hackish and incomplete.
For example, background snapshots still end up reading all memory, as
they don't do bitmap syncs. Postcopy recovery code will re-add
previously cleared bits to the dirty bitmap and migrate them.
Let's consult the RamDiscardManager after setting up our dirty bitmap
initially and when postcopy recovery code reinitializes it: clear
corresponding bits in the dirty bitmaps (e.g., of the RAMBlock and inside
KVM). It's important to fixup the dirty bitmap *after* our initial bitmap
sync, such that the corresponding dirty bits in KVM are actually cleared.
As colo is incompatible with discarding of RAM and inhibits it, we don't
have to bother.
Note: if a misbehaving guest would use discarded ranges after migration
started we would still migrate that memory: however, then we already
populated that memory on the migration source.

Accessing from_dst_file is potentially racy in current code base like below:
if (s->from_dst_file)
do_something(s->from_dst_file);
Because from_dst_file can be reset right after the check in another
thread (rp_thread). One example is migrate_fd_cancel().
Use the same qemu_file_lock to protect it too, just like to_dst_file.
When it's safe to access without lock, comment it.
There's one special reference in migration_thread() that can be replaced by
the newly introduced rp_thread_created flag.

with Peter's fixup
Taking the mutex every time for each dirty bit to clear is too slow, especially
we'll take/release even if the dirty bit is cleared. So far it's only used to
sync with special cases with qemu_guest_free_page_hint() against migration
thread, nothing really that serious yet. Let's move the lock to be upper.
There're two callers of migration_bitmap_clear_dirty().
For migration, move it into ram_save_iterate(). With the help of MAX_WAIT
logic, we'll only run ram_save_iterate() for no more than 50ms-ish time, so
taking the lock once there at the entry. It also means any call sites to
qemu_guest_free_page_hint() can be delayed; but it should be very rare, only
during migration, and I don't see a problem with it.
For COLO, move it up to colo_flush_ram_cache(). I think COLO forgot to take
that lock even when calling ramblock_sync_dirty_bitmap(), where another example
is migration_bitmap_sync() who took it right. So let the mutex cover both the
ramblock_sync_dirty_bitmap() and migration_bitmap_clear_dirty() calls.
It's even possible to drop the lock so we use atomic operations upon rb->bmap
and the variable migration_dirty_pages. I didn't do it just to still be safe,
also not predictable whether the frequent atomic ops could bring overhead too
e.g. on huge vms when it happens very often. When that really comes, we can
keep a local counter and periodically call atomic ops. Keep it simple for now.

Let's introduce RAM_NORESERVE, allowing mmap'ing with MAP_NORESERVE. The
new flag has the following semantics:
"
RAM is mmap-ed with MAP_NORESERVE. When set, reserving swap space (or huge
pages if applicable) is skipped: will bail out if not supported. When not
set, the OS will do the reservation, if supported for the memory type.
"
Allow passing it into:
- memory_region_init_ram_nomigrate()
- memory_region_init_resizeable_ram()
- memory_region_init_ram_from_file()
... and teach qemu_ram_mmap() and qemu_anon_ram_alloc() about the flag.
Bail out if the flag is not supported, which is the case right now for
both, POSIX and win32. We will add Linux support next and allow specifying
RAM_NORESERVE via memory backends.
The target use case is virtio-mem, which dynamically exposes memory
inside a large, sparse memory area to the VM.

We never read or write beyond the used_length of memory blocks when
migrating. Make this clearer by using offset_in_ramblock() consistently.

Resizing while migrating is dangerous and does not work as expected.
The whole migration code works with the usable_length of a ram block and
does not expect this value to change at random points in time.
In the case of postcopy, relying on used_length is racy as soon as the
guest is running. Also, when used_length changes we might leave the
uffd handler registered for some memory regions, reject valid pages
when migrating and fail when sending the recv bitmap to the source.
Resizing can be trigger *after* (but not during) a reset in
ACPI code by the guest
- hw/arm/virt-acpi-build.c:acpi_ram_update()
- hw/i386/acpi-build.c:acpi_ram_update()
Let's remember the original used_length in a separate variable and
use it in relevant postcopy code. Make sure to update it when we resize
during precopy, when synchronizing the RAM block sizes with the source.
