# @MigrationCapability:
#
# Migration capabilities enumeration
#
# @xbzrle: Migration supports xbzrle (Xor Based Zero Run Length
# Encoding). This feature allows us to minimize migration traffic
# for certain work loads, by sending compressed difference of the
# pages
#
# @rdma-pin-all: Controls whether or not the entire VM memory
# footprint is mlock()'d on demand or all at once. Refer to
# docs/rdma.txt for usage. Disabled by default. (since 2.0)
#
# @zero-blocks: During storage migration encode blocks of zeroes
# efficiently. This essentially saves 1MB of zeroes per block on
# the wire. Enabling requires source and target VM to support
# this feature. To enable it is sufficient to enable the
# capability on the source VM. The feature is disabled by default.
# (since 1.6)
#
# @compress: Use multiple compression threads to accelerate live
# migration. This feature can help to reduce the migration
# traffic, by sending compressed pages. Please note that if
# compress and xbzrle are both on, compress only takes effect in
# the ram bulk stage, after that, it will be disabled and only
# xbzrle takes effect, this can help to minimize migration
# traffic. The feature is disabled by default. (since 2.4 )
#
# @events: generate events for each migration state change (since 2.4
# )
#
# @auto-converge: If enabled, QEMU will automatically throttle down
# the guest to speed up convergence of RAM migration. (since 1.6)
#
# @postcopy-ram: Start executing on the migration target before all of
# RAM has been migrated, pulling the remaining pages along as
# needed. The capacity must have the same setting on both source
# and target or migration will not even start. NOTE: If the
# migration fails during postcopy the VM will fail. (since 2.6)
#
# @x-colo: If enabled, migration will never end, and the state of the
# VM on the primary side will be migrated continuously to the VM
# on secondary side, this process is called COarse-Grain LOck
# Stepping (COLO) for Non-stop Service. (since 2.8)
#
# @release-ram: if enabled, qemu will free the migrated ram pages on
# the source during postcopy-ram migration. (since 2.9)
#
# @block: If enabled, QEMU will also migrate the contents of all block
# devices. Default is disabled. A possible alternative uses
# mirror jobs to a builtin NBD server on the destination, which
# offers more flexibility. (Since 2.10)
#
# @return-path: If enabled, migration will use the return path even
# for precopy. (since 2.10)
#
# @pause-before-switchover: Pause outgoing migration before
# serialising device state and before disabling block IO (since
# 2.11)
#
# @multifd: Use more than one fd for migration (since 4.0)
#
# @dirty-bitmaps: If enabled, QEMU will migrate named dirty bitmaps.
# (since 2.12)
#
# @postcopy-blocktime: Calculate downtime for postcopy live migration
# (since 3.0)
#
# @late-block-activate: If enabled, the destination will not activate
# block devices (and thus take locks) immediately at the end of
# migration. (since 3.0)
#
# @x-ignore-shared: If enabled, QEMU will not migrate shared memory
# that is accessible on the destination machine. (since 4.0)
#
# @validate-uuid: Send the UUID of the source to allow the destination
# to ensure it is the same. (since 4.2)
#
# @background-snapshot: If enabled, the migration stream will be a
# snapshot of the VM exactly at the point when the migration
# procedure starts. The VM RAM is saved with running VM. (since
# 6.0)
#
# @zero-copy-send: Controls behavior on sending memory pages on
# migration. When true, enables a zero-copy mechanism for sending
# memory pages, if host supports it. Requires that QEMU be
# permitted to use locked memory for guest RAM pages. (since 7.1)
#
# @postcopy-preempt: If enabled, the migration process will allow
# postcopy requests to preempt precopy stream, so postcopy
# requests will be handled faster. This is a performance feature
# and should not affect the correctness of postcopy migration.
# (since 7.1)
#
migration: Add switchover ack capability Migration downtime estimation is calculated based on bandwidth and remaining migration data. This assumes that loading of migration data in the destination takes a negligible amount of time and that downtime depends only on network speed. While this may be true for RAM, it's not necessarily true for other migrated devices. For example, loading the data of a VFIO device in the destination might require from the device to allocate resources, prepare internal data structures and so on. These operations can take a significant amount of time which can increase migration downtime. This patch adds a new capability "switchover ack" that prevents the source from stopping the VM and completing the migration until an ACK is received from the destination that it's OK to do so. This can be used by migrated devices in various ways to reduce downtime. For example, a device can send initial precopy metadata to pre-allocate resources in the destination and use this capability to make sure that the pre-allocation is completed before the source VM is stopped, so it will have full effect. This new capability relies on the return path capability to communicate from the destination back to the source. The actual implementation of the capability will be added in the following patches.

#
# @block-bitmap-mapping: Maps block nodes and bitmaps on them to
# aliases for the purpose of dirty bitmap migration. Such aliases
# may for example be the corresponding names on the opposite site.
# The mapping must be one-to-one, but not necessarily complete: On
# the source, unmapped bitmaps and all bitmaps on unmapped nodes

##
# @calc-dirty-rate:
#
# Start measuring dirty page rate of the VM. Results can be retrieved
# with @query-dirty-rate after measurements are completed.
#
# Dirty page rate is the number of pages changed in a given time
# period expressed in MiB/s. The following methods of calculation are
# available:
#
# 1. In page sampling mode, a random subset of pages are selected and
# hashed twice: once at the beginning of measurement time period,
# and once again at the end. If two hashes for some page are
# different, the page is counted as changed. Since this method
# relies on sampling and hashing, calculated dirty page rate is
# only an estimate of its true value. Increasing @sample-pages
# improves estimation quality at the cost of higher computational
# overhead.
#
# 2. Dirty bitmap mode captures writes to memory (for example by
# temporarily revoking write access to all pages) and counting page
# faults. Information about modified pages is collected into a
# bitmap, where each bit corresponds to one guest page. This mode
# requires that KVM accelerator property "dirty-ring-size" is *not*
# set.
#
# 3. Dirty ring mode is similar to dirty bitmap mode, but the
# information about modified pages is collected into ring buffer.
# This mode tracks page modification per each vCPU separately. It
# requires that KVM accelerator property "dirty-ring-size" is set.
#
# @calc-time: time period in units of second for which dirty page rate
# is calculated. Note that larger @calc-time values will
# typically result in smaller dirty page rates because page
# dirtying is a one-time event. Once some page is counted as
# dirty during @calc-time period, further writes to this page will
# not increase dirty page rate anymore.
#
# @sample-pages: number of sampled pages per each GiB of guest memory.
# Default value is 512. For 4KiB guest pages this corresponds to
# sampling ratio of 0.2%. This argument is used only in page
# sampling mode. (Since 6.1)
#
# @mode: mechanism for tracking dirty pages. Default value is
# 'page-sampling'. Others are 'dirty-bitmap' and 'dirty-ring'.
# (Since 6.1)

# Since: 5.2

migration: introduce snapshot-{save, load, delete} QMP commands savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics around choice of disks were ill-defined. Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the "human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to all real world usage. Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using QAPI modelling is highly desirable. This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new commands are given different names, because they will be using the new QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name. While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later. None the less applications using these new commands should assume that they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to indicate completion. In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use. Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query what snapshots currently exist for block nodes. Acked-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

It would thus be misleading to keep the same name. While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later. None the less applications using these new commands should assume that they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to indicate completion. In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use. Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query what snapshots currently exist for block nodes. Acked-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

migration: introduce snapshot-{save, load, delete} QMP commands savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics around choice of disks were ill-defined. Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the "human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to all real world usage. Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using QAPI modelling is highly desirable.

migration: introduce snapshot-{save, load, delete} QMP commands savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics around choice of disks were ill-defined. Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the "human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to all real world usage. Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using QAPI modelling is highly desirable. This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new commands are given different names, because they will be using the new QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name. While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later. None the less applications using these new commands should assume that they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to indicate completion. In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use.
