Hi

Changes for yesterday:
- Paolo Acked the series
- Rebaso on top of today git (only conflicts were due to header re-shuffle)

Please pull.

[20121219]

This is my queue for migration-thread and patches associated.  This
integrates review comments & code for Paolo.  This is the subset from
both approachs that we agreed with. rest of patches need more review
and are not here.

Migrating and idle guest with upstwream:

(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off
Migration status: completed
total time: 34251 milliseconds
downtime: 492 milliseconds
transferred ram: 762458 kbytes
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 14688768 kbytes
duplicate: 3492606 pages
normal: 189762 pages
normal bytes: 759048 kbytes

with this series of patches.

(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off
Migration status: completed
total time: 30712 milliseconds
downtime: 29 milliseconds
transferred ram: 738857 kbytes
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 14688768 kbytes
duplicate: 3503423 pages
normal: 176671 pages
normal bytes: 706684 kbytes

Notice the big difference in downtime.  And that is also seen inside
the guest a program that just do an idle loop seeing how "long" it
takes to wait for 10ms.

with upstream:

[root@d1 ~]# ./timer
delay of 452 ms
delay of 114 ms
delay of 136 ms
delay of 135 ms
delay of 136 ms
delay of 131 ms
delay of 134 ms

with this series of patches, wait never takes 100ms, nothing is printed.

Please pull.

Thanks, Juan.

This breaks migration.  Here's my test case:

#!/bin/sh

gzip -d -c lidb.ssmall.img.gz | \
    ~/build/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom \
    ~/isos/OCDC-lucid-Test-Drive-20110523_140333.iso -enable-kvm -m 2G \
    -incoming exec:dd

With lidb.ssmall.img.gz being generated from a 'migrate exec:dd of=...'
from qemu.git just a week or two ago.

I can't bisect tonight but can attempt to tomorrow.  How has this been
tested?

I'm a little concerned here about the timing.  With the Christmas
and New Years holiday we're pretty darn close to soft freeze for 1.4.

Has this series gone through a full autotest run with multiple guests?

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

I have tested with tcp, load/not-load with guests form 4GB to 16GB RAM.
Will test tomorrow with your test case.  I didn't tested exec:, though.

Will re-test tomorrow with autotest.

Sorry, Juan.

Come on, we're _a month_ from soft freeze.

This is failing to me with master, nothing to do with the changes on
this thread.  Investigating what is going on.

Later, Juan.

Master works perfectly fine for me.  It only fails with your series
merged in.

I can bisect if you like.

FYI, I'm having a heck of a time reproducing now attempting to do a
bisect.

This could indicate either a lingering build dependency problem or even
that I merged the wrong branch previously.

I'll keep testing and trying to reproduce.  I still would like to see a
full autotest run here though.

So it breaks *incoming* migration, which would restrict the problem to
the beginning of the patch (reorganization of the RAM block list).
Everything else touches only outgoing migration.

However, I tested bidirectional migration between origin/master and
Juan's branch and it passed

  x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/../images/jeos-17-64.qcow2 \
    -vnc :1 -incoming "exec:cat foo" --enable-kvm

I also tested both my and Juan's branches and they both pass all
migration tests.

Indeed old->new and new->old migration wasn't tested AFAIK.  Not by me
at least.

Tested with autotest, it worked both upstream and the pull request.

Anthony, any news about your problems?

Can you pull the series?

Or do you preffer that I integrate Paolo fixes in the middle and sent
another pull request?

Thanks, Juan.
