[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v10 0/7] virtio-balloon: free page hint support |

This is the deivce part implementation to add a new feature,
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT to the virtio-balloon device. The device
receives the guest free page hints from the driver and clears the
corresponding bits in the dirty bitmap, so that those free pages are
not sent by the migration thread to the destination.
*Tests
1 Test Environment
Host: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz
Migration setup: migrate_set_speed 100G, migrate_set_downtime 400ms
2 Test Results (results are averaged over several repeated runs)
2.1 Guest setup: 8G RAM, 4 vCPU
2.1.1 Idle guest live migration time
Optimization v.s. Legacy = 620ms vs 2970ms
--> ~79% reduction
2.1.2 Guest live migration with Linux compilation workload
(i.e. make bzImage -j4) running
1) Live Migration Time:
Optimization v.s. Legacy = 2273ms v.s. 4502ms
--> ~50% reduction
2) Linux Compilation Time:
Optimization v.s. Legacy = 8min42s v.s. 8min43s
--> no obvious difference
2.2 Guest setup: 128G RAM, 4 vCPU
2.2.1 Idle guest live migration time
Optimization v.s. Legacy = 5294ms vs 41651ms
--> ~87% reduction
2.2.2 Guest live migration with Linux compilation workload
1) Live Migration Time:
Optimization v.s. Legacy = 8816ms v.s. 54201ms
--> 84% reduction
2) Linux Compilation Time:
Optimization v.s. Legacy = 8min30s v.s. 8min36s
--> no obvious difference
ChangeLog:
v9->v10:
migration:
- qemu_guest_free_page_hint:
- move "addr += used_len" to the for() loop;
- add some comments about the ram block resize case.
- precopy notifier:
- enable callbacks to report errors (as the postcopy notifier);
- rename the notifier reasons:
- PRECOPY_NOTIFY_COMPLETE notifies the callback about the
end of precopy;
- PRECOPY_NOTIFY_CLEANUP notifies the callback in the case
migration is cancelled;
- relocate some notifications to the upper layer functions
(i.e. qemu_savevm_state_*), which can get the callbacks notified
when non-ram-saving code has errors which stops the precopy.
- migration_bitmap_sync_precopy to be called by the precopy code path
with precopy notifier supported, and migration_bitmap_sync is left
for callers without the need of precopy notifier (e.g. some postcopy
code).
- avoid exposing migrate_postcopy;
virtio-balloon:
- virtio_balloon_free_page_report_notify: remove the migrate_postcopy
check becasue the migration code has guaranteed that the notifier
callback is invoked when in the precopy mode.
