Commit bc38feddeb ("io: fsync before closing a file channel") added a
fsync/fdatasync at the closing point of the QIOChannelFile to ensure
integrity of the migration stream in case of QEMU crash.
The decision to do the sync at qio_channel_close() was not the best
since that function runs in the main thread and the fsync can cause
QEMU to hang for several minutes, depending on the migration size and
disk speed.
To fix the hang, remove the fsync from qio_channel_file_close().
At this moment, the migration code is the only user of the fsync and
we're taking the tradeoff of not having a sync at all, leaving the
responsibility to the upper layers.

Commit 90697be889 ("live migration: Serialize vmstate saving in stage
2") introduced device serialization in qemu_savevm_state_iterate(). The
rationale behind it was to first complete migration of slower changing
block devices and only then migrate the RAM, to avoid sending fast
changing RAM pages over and over.
This commit was added a long time ago, and while it was useful back
then, it is not the case anymore:
1. Block migration is deprecated, see commit 66db46ca83 ("migration:
Deprecate block migration").
2. Today there are other iterative devices besides RAM and block, such
as VFIO, which are registered for migration after RAM. With current
serialization behavior, a fast changing device can block other
devices from sending their data, which may prevent migration from
converging in some cases.
The issue described in item 2 was observed in several VFIO migration
scenarios with switchover-ack capability enabled, where some workload on
the VM prevented RAM from ever reaching a hard zero, thus blocking VFIO
initial pre-copy data from being sent. Hence, destination could not ack
switchover and migration could not converge.
Fix that by not serializing iterative devices in
qemu_savevm_state_iterate().
Note that this still doesn't fully prevent device starvation. As
correctly pointed out by Peter [1], a fast changing device might
constantly consume all allocated bandwidth and block the following
devices. However, this scenario is more likely to happen only if
max-bandwidth is low.

Simplify the exec migration code by using list utility functions.
As a side effect, this also fixes a minor memory leak. On function return,
"g_auto(GStrv) argv" frees argv and each element, which is wrong, because
the function does not own the individual elements. To compensate, the code
uses g_steal_pointer which NULLs argv and prevents the destructor from
running, but argv is leaked.

The new mapped-ram stream format uses a file transport and puts ram
pages in the migration file at their respective offsets and can be
done in parallel by using the pwritev system call which takes iovecs
and an offset.
Add support to enabling the new format along with multifd to make use
of the threading and page handling already in place.
This requires multifd to stop sending headers and leaving the stream
format to the mapped-ram code. When it comes time to write the data, we
need to call a version of qio_channel_write that can take an offset.

The mapped-ram migration can be performed live or non-live, but it is
always asynchronous, i.e. the source machine and the destination
machine are not migrating at the same time. We only need some pieces
of the multifd sync operations.
multifd_send_sync_main()
------------------------
Issued by the ram migration code on the migration thread, causes the
multifd send channels to synchronize with the migration thread and
makes the sending side emit a packet with the MULTIFD_FLUSH flag.
With mapped-ram we want to maintain the sync on the sending side
because that provides ordering between the rounds of dirty pages when
migrating live.
MULTIFD_FLUSH
-------------
On the receiving side, the presence of the MULTIFD_FLUSH flag on a
packet causes the receiving channels to start synchronizing with the
main thread.
We're not using packets with mapped-ram, so there's no MULTIFD_FLUSH
flag and therefore no channel sync on the receiving side.
multifd_recv_sync_main()
------------------------
Issued by the migration thread when the ram migration flag
RAM_SAVE_FLAG_MULTIFD_FLUSH is received, causes the migration thread
on the receiving side to start synchronizing with the recv
channels. Due to compatibility, this is also issued when
RAM_SAVE_FLAG_EOS is received.
For mapped-ram we only need to synchronize the channels at the end of
migration to avoid doing cleanup before the channels have finished
their IO.
Make sure the multifd syncs are only issued at the appropriate times.
Note that due to pre-existing backward compatibility issues, we have
the multifd_flush_after_each_section property that can cause a sync to
happen at EOS. Since the EOS flag is needed on the stream, allow
mapped-ram to just ignore it.
Also emit an error if any other unexpected flags are found on the
stream.

Allow multifd to open file-backed channels. This will be used when
enabling the mapped-ram migration stream format which expects a
seekable transport.
The QIOChannel read and write methods will use the preadv/pwritev
versions which don't update the file offset at each call so we can
reuse the fd without re-opening for every channel.
Contrary to the socket migration, the file migration doesn't need an
asynchronous channel creation process, so expose
multifd_channel_connect() and call it directly.
Note that this is just setup code and multifd cannot yet make use of

For the upcoming support to the new 'mapped-ram' migration stream
format, we cannot use multifd packets because each write into the
ramblock section in the migration file is expected to contain only the
guest pages. They are written at their respective offsets relative to
the ramblock section header.
There is no space for the packet information and the expected gains
from the new approach come partly from being able to write the pages
sequentially without extraneous data in between.
The new format also simply doesn't need the packets and all necessary
information can be taken from the standard migration headers with some
(future) changes to multifd code.
Use the presence of the mapped-ram capability to decide whether to
send packets.
This only moves code under multifd_use_packets(), it has no effect for
now as mapped-ram cannot yet be enabled with multifd.

A bitmap is introduced to track which pages have been written in the

Add a new migration capability 'mapped-ram'.
The core of the feature is to ensure that RAM pages are mapped
directly to offsets in the resulting migration file instead of being
streamed at arbitrary points.
The reasons why we'd want such behavior are:
- The resulting file will have a bounded size, since pages which are
dirtied multiple times will always go to a fixed location in the
file, rather than constantly being added to a sequential
stream. This eliminates cases where a VM with, say, 1G of RAM can
result in a migration file that's 10s of GBs, provided that the
workload constantly redirties memory.
- It paves the way to implement O_DIRECT-enabled save/restore of the
migration stream as the pages are ensured to be written at aligned
offsets.
- It allows the usage of multifd so we can write RAM pages to the
migration file in parallel.
For now, enabling the capability has no effect. The next couple of
patches implement the core functionality.

Some minor cleanups and documentation for multifd_recv_sync_main.
Use thread_count as done in other parts of the code. Remove p->id from
the multifd_recv_state sync, since that is global and not tied to a
channel. Add documentation for the sync steps.

Some glue code was missing, so that using `qmp_migrate_set_parameters`
to set `multifd-zstd-level` or `multifd-zlib-level` did not work. This
commit adds the glue code to fix that.

close_return_path_on_source() retrieves the migration error from the
the QEMUFile '->to_dst_file' to know if a shutdown is required. This
shutdown is required to exit the return-path thread.
Avoid relying on '->to_dst_file' and use migrate_has_error() instead.
(using to_dst_file is a heuristic to infer whether
rp_state.from_dst_file might be stuck on a recvmsg(). Using a generic
method for detecting errors is more reliable. We also want to reduce
dependency on QEMUFile::last_error)

The return path thread might hang at a blocking system call. Before
joining the thread we might need to issue a shutdown() on the socket
file descriptor to release it. To determine whether the shutdown() is
necessary we look at the QEMUFile error.
Make sure we only clean up the QEMUFile after the return path has been
waited for.
This fixes a hang when qemu_savevm_state_setup() produced an error
that was detected by migration_detect_error(). That skips
migration_completion() so close_return_path_on_source() would get
stuck waiting for the RP thread to terminate.

The QMP command query_migrate might see incorrect throughput numbers
if it runs after we've set the migration completion status but before
migration_calculate_complete() has updated s->total_time and s->mbps.
The migration status would show COMPLETED, but the throughput value
would be the one from the last iteration and not the one from the
whole migration. This will usually be a larger value due to the time
period being smaller (one iteration).
Move migration_calculate_complete() earlier so that the status
MIGRATION_STATUS_COMPLETED is only emitted after the final counters
update. Keep everything under the BQL so the QMP thread sees the
updates as atomic.
Rename migration_calculate_complete to migration_completion_end to
reflect its new purpose of also updating s->state.

When migration for cpr is initiated, stop the vm and set state
RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE before ram is saved. This eliminates the
possibility of ram and device state being out of sync, and guarantees
that a guest in the suspended state remains suspended, because qmp_cont
rejects a cont command in the RUN_STATE_FINISH_MIGRATE state.
