The offset given to a block created via qemu_ram_alloc/map() is arbitrary,
let the caller specify a name so we can make a positive match.

Note, this only addresses the qemu-kvm callers so far.

Yes, definitely.  You created a notion of a hierarchical namespace,
can this be formalized any more?  Currently scattered...

So far we have:

     pc.
        lowmem
        highmem
        bios
        rom
     vga.
         vram
     vmsvga.
            fifo
  pci.

          bar
          rom

This looks pretty bogus.  It should be associated with the device, rather than 
incorrectly trying to generate a globally unique name.

Not all ram is associated with a device.

For instance, the base ram for a guest.

Maybe not, but where it is we should be using that information.
Absolute minimum we should be using the existing qdev address rather than 
inventing a new one.  Duplicating this logic inside every device seems like a 
bad idea so I suggest identifying ram blocks by a (name, device) pair. For now 
we can allow a NULL device for system memory.

Yep, I was just thinking that without freeing, the uniqueness really
falls apart.  If we hotplug a nic multiple times on the source, we're
going to have multiple pci:d.f for the slot.  If we're lucky, they're
all for the same type of device and therefore the same ROM size and the
ordering will cause them to be merged into one on the target.  That
requires a lot of luck though.  Maybe once we have freeing we just blow
up and call it a device bug if it didn't free and tries to add more ram
with the same name.

> You created a notion of a hierarchical namespace,

Yeah, it's pretty haphazard, I probably haven't spent enough time
working out what makes sense across all devices.  I started with
"ram.<device/driver>.<context>", where context was whatever I could
guess from the surrounding code.  Then I jumped over to "pci:d.f" (which
should at least be "pci.s:b:d.f") just because I thought the PCI address
space already provided a nicely unique layout.

That probably makes sense.

So maybe we say "ram." = "platform devices", things that have single
instances or are easy to split up into fixed, unique names.

This one is pretty obvious.  If this is a reasonable starting point, I
can start hashing through the other archs and take a guess at what makes
sense.  Thanks,

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but what if we change it to
something like:

+    snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%s.%02x.%x.rom-%s",
+             pdev->bus->qbus.name, PCI_SLOT(pdev->devfn),
+             PCI_FUNC(pdev->devfn), pdev->qdev.info->name);

This gives us things like "pci.0.03.0.rom-rtl8139".  For pci-assign, we
can expand on the host details, such as:

+                snprintf(name, sizeof(name),
+                         "%s.%02x.%x.bar%d-%s(%04x:%02x:%02x.%d)",
+                         pci_dev->dev.bus->qbus.name,
+                         PCI_SLOT(pci_dev->dev.devfn),
+                         PCI_FUNC(pci_dev->dev.devfn), i,
+                         pci_dev->dev.qdev.info->name,
+                         pci_dev->host.seg, pci_dev->host.bus,
+                         pci_dev->host.dev, pci_dev->host.func);

Giving us "pci.0.04.0.bar0-pci-assign(0000:01:10.0)".  Anywhere closer?

Nevertheless qdev could carry a list of any device specific ram, so 
qdev_free() could automagically cleanup for you on unplug.  You could 
also reuse DeviceState->info->vmsd->name for the ram section naming.

I agree, this is duplicating the qdev tree in a string.  Devices/BARs 
should have ram qdev fields and so ram can be enumerated completely via 
qdev.

System memory can be part of a system device.

Not really.  This identifier is device and bus independent, which is why I 
suggested passing the device to qemu_ram_alloc.  This can then figure out how 
to the identify the device. It should probably do this the same way that we 
identify the saved state for the device.  Currently I think this is an 
arbitrary vmstate name/id, but I expect this to change to a qdev address
(e.g. /i440FX-pcihost/pci.0/_addr_04.0").

Keep in mind, this has to be a stable string across versions of qemu 
since this is savevm/migration.  Are we absolutely confident that the 
full qdev path isn't going to change?  I'm more confident that a unique 
device name is going to be static across qemu versions.

The actual representation of the device address is a secondary issue. The 
important point is that ram blocks should be associated with devices[*], and 
matched in exactly the same way. Devices should not be duplicating this on an 
ad-hoc basis.

Ok, that seems fairly reasonable, so from a device pointer we can get
something like "/i440FX-pcihost/pci.0/_addr_04.0", then we can add
something like ":rom" or ":bar.0" to it via an extra string.

qemu_ram_alloc(DeviceState *dev, const char *info, size)

Does a function already exist to print out a qdev address path?  I don't
want to guess at something based on only this example.  Is there a
reserved/unused character we can use to separate the qdev device string
from the supplied name?  Thanks,

Exactly - though personally I wouldn't call the second argument "info".

No.

I may have been a bit misleading here. What we really want to do is use the 
same matching algorithm as is used by the rest of the device state. Currently 
this is a vmstate name and [arbitrary] numeric id. I don't remember whether 
there's a convenient link from a device to its associated vmstate - if there 
isn't there probably should be.

DeviceState->info->vmsd->name for the name.
Dunno about the numeric id, I think savevm.c doesn't export it.

Ok, we can certainly do <vmsd->name>.<vmsd->instance>\<driver string>.
It seems like this highlights a deficiency in the vmstate matching
though.  If on the source we do:

> pci_add addr=4 nic model=e1000
> pci_add addr=3 nic model=e1000

Then we start the target, ordering the nics sequentially, are we going
to store the vmstate into the opposite nics?  AIUI, libvirt does this
correctly today, but I don't like the idea of being required to remember
the history of a vm to migrate it.

Why are you forcing this to be a string?

That's a separate problem. As long as you use the same matching as for the 
rest of the device state then it should just work. If it doesn't work then 
migration is already broken so it doen't matter.

Hmm, this gets a little hairy for patch 5/6 where we try to create a
block on the fly to match the migration source.  For now, this is mainly
to catch things like devices that are hot plugged then removed before
migration, but don't currently have a functional qemu_ram_free() to
clean up.  However, if we could get past that and clean up drivers, it
might be nice for the string to provide enough information to
instantiate the missing device on the target.  I suddenly see that
char[64] name becoming insufficient.  Maybe we should follow the vmstate
example and use a variable length string preceded by a length byte (or
two).

In the fun game of what ifs...

The cmdline starts w/ device A placed at pci bus addr 00:04.0 (so
matched on source and target).  The source does hotunplug of 04.0 and
replaces it w/ new device.  I think we need something that is more
uniquely identifying the block.  Not sure that device name is correct or
a generation ID.

You shouldn't be solving this problem for RAM blocks. You should be solving it 
for the device state.

I think so.  We should be able to handle that better.  Nevertheless it 
makes sense to use the same naming scheme for device state and device 
ram.  If we fix this for the device state some day (using qdev most 
likely), we'll go change device ram handling the same way.

Do it the same way savevm handles device state?  I think it simply puts 
a u32 for the instance id.

I see, so then we'd have:

uint8 - string length (should we decide to go with a variable length)
buffer - "<vmsd->name>\<driver string>"
uint32 - instance_id

I'm not sure I see the benefit to that since then we'd have to do both a
strcmp and an instance_id match.  It's unlikely we'll have instance_ids
large enough that even make it a space savings in the protocol stream
versus "name.id" ("e1000.0").

The trouble I'm running into is that the SaveStateEntry.instance_id is
effectively private, and there's no easy way to associate a
SaveStateEntry to a device since it passes an opaque pointer, which
could be whatever the driver decides it wants.  I'm wondering if we
should pass the DeviceState pointer in when registering the vmstate so
that we can stuff the instance_id into the DeviceInfo.  Or maybe
DeviceInfo should include a pointer to the SaveStateEntry.  It all seems
pretty messy.  Any thoughts?

DeviceInfo is effectively a const structure (it may be modified at startup, 
but there's only one of it shared between multiple devices). I suspect you 
mean DeviceState.

Most likely a lot of the messyness is because we still have devices that have 
not been qdev-ified, so the VMState code can't assume it has a device. We 
should fix this.
