This works for TCP mode, but:

1) I am not sure what would happen with -incoming exec;

2) it is tricky! :)  It works only because anything after the port is 
truncated by parse_host_port.

Is there any reason why the code cannot be in 
tcp_start_incoming_migration, where we know the URI has the right 
scheme?  Alternatively you could put it _before_ the scheme, like 
"kemari:tcp:host:port".

Nothing happens if used with other protocols, but I assume you're
mentioning that it's not clear from the code, which makes sense.

I placed it here just because string parsing was mainly done in
this function except for parse_host_port.  I have no objection
placing the parsing at the beginning of
tcp_start_incoming_migration.

Thanks,

I assume nothing just because the code for other protocols isn't using 
ft_mode.  However, for -incoming exec the parsing code as it is now 
would trigger if the executed file ended with "ft_mode".

So now I think it should be at the beginning of the scheme for forward 
compatibility with everything.  Is it possible to detect a migration 
scheme that does not support Kemari, and give an error in that case?

Hmm.  Haven't thought about it.

Having a scheme like "kemari:tcp:host:port" looks quite
challenging to me.  We can of course add some quick hacks for it,
but adding a nice layered architecture should be more
appropriate.  Similar to protocols and formats in block layer?
At the same time, I want to avoid anything over engineered.

Thanks,

Yoshi

I was simply thinking of

    if (strstart (uri, "kemari:", &p)) {
        ft_mode = FT_INIT;
        uri = p;
    }

:)

I think the same could be done for outgoing migration instead of -k 
actually.

That's the hack I was imaging :)

Maybe this is just an issue of preference, but I'm not sure
adding "kemari:" to be intuitive.  If there were similar
extensions having the same problem, I would have agreed quickly.
I originally didn't have this idea, but simply adding -kemari
separate from -incoming isn't enough?

So your original patch is also a hack? :)

No idea...  Only, having "migrate" on one side and something other than 
"-incoming" on the other side seems strange.

TBH, yeah :) I didn't came up better idea that is not over
engineered.

OK, then while keeping "-incoming kemari:tcp:<host>:<port>" as a
strong solution, could you please explain why placing the original
parser under tcp handler wasn't a good idea?  With that,
-incoming exec .*,ft_mode shouldn't be a problem.  I
chose "-incoming tcp:<host>:<port>, ft_mode" because qemu usually
take "," for specifying variants for each option (e.g. -net
nic,macaddr=).  The problem was -incoming didn't have it yet.

But a hypothetical -incoming unix.*,ft_mode would have to be implemented 
twice.

You mean Kemari should be able to use with unix domain sockets,
or other local communication patch?  Since Kemari needs two
remote hosts, I don't see why need to use unix domain sockets
except for testing.  Maybe I'm missing the point :)

Well, I mentioned unix because it is basically the only other migration 
protocol implemented in QEMU, but the file descriptor backend could also 
be used.  Kemari-over-SCTP could be an interesting application too for 
example.

I'm not saying you should adjust the other patches for the 
implementation, but the syntax to invoke Kemari should be future-proof.

Yes, I understand.  I'm not negative to your suggestion at all,
but trying to figure out what would be the best :) Let me take
your suggestion to use "-incoming kemari:tcp:<host>:<port>" in
the next spin, and see what others think.

Thanks,
