This patch redefines the interfacing of ->send_prepare(). It further
simplifies multifd_send_thread() especially on zero copy.
Now with the new interface, we require the hook to do all the work for
preparing the IOVs to send. After it's completed, the IOVs should be ready
to be dumped into the specific multifd QIOChannel later.
So now the API looks like:
p->pages -----------> send_prepare() -------------> IOVs
This also prepares for the case where the input can be extended to even not
any p->pages. But that's for later.
This patch will achieve similar goal of what Fabiano used to propose here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240126221943.26628-1-farosas@suse.de
However the send() interface may not be necessary. I'm boldly attaching a
"Co-developed-by" for Fabiano.

Introduce a helper multifd_send_prepare_header() to setup the header packet
for multifd sender.
It's fine to setup the IOV[0] _before_ send_prepare() because the packet
buffer is already ready, even if the content is to be filled in.
With this helper, we can already slightly clean up the zero copy path.
Note that I explicitly put it into multifd.h, because I want it inlined
directly into multifd*.c where necessary later.

This field, no matter whether on src or dest, is only used for debugging
purpose.
They can even be removed already, unless it still more or less provide some
accounting on "how many packets are sent/recved for this thread". The
other more important one is called packet_num, which is embeded in the
multifd packet headers (MultiFDPacket_t).
So let's keep them for now, but make them much easier to understand, by
doing below:
- Rename both of them to packets_sent / packets_recved, the old
name (num_packets) are waaay too confusing when we already have
MultiFDPacket_t.packets_num.
- Avoid worrying on the "initial packet": we know we will send it, that's
good enough. The accounting won't matter a great deal to start with 0 or
with 1.
- Move them to where we send/recv the packets. They're:
- multifd_send_fill_packet() for senders.
- multifd_recv_unfill_packet() for receivers.

Multifd provide a threaded model for processing jobs. On sender side,
there can be two kinds of job: (1) a list of pages to send, or (2) a sync
request.
The sync request is a very special kind of job. It never contains a page
array, but only a multifd packet telling the dest side to synchronize with
sent pages.
Before this patch, both requests use the pending_job field, no matter what
the request is, it will boost pending_job, while multifd sender thread will
decrement it after it finishes one job.
However this should be racy, because SYNC is special in that it needs to
set p->flags with MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC, showing that this is a sync request.
Consider a sequence of operations where:
- migration thread enqueue a job to send some pages, pending_job++ (0->1)
- [...before the selected multifd sender thread wakes up...]
- migration thread enqueue another job to sync, pending_job++ (1->2),
setup p->flags=MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC
- multifd sender thread wakes up, found pending_job==2
- send the 1st packet with MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC and list of pages
- send the 2nd packet with flags==0 and no pages
This is not expected, because MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC should hopefully be done
after all the pages are received. Meanwhile, the 2nd packet will be
completely useless, which contains zero information.
I didn't verify above, but I think this issue is still benign in that at
least on the recv side we always receive pages before handling
MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC. However that's not always guaranteed and just tricky.
One other reason I want to separate it is using p->flags to communicate
between the two threads is also not clearly defined, it's very hard to read
and understand why accessing p->flags is always safe; see the current impl
of multifd_send_thread() where we tried to cache only p->flags. It doesn't
need to be that complicated.
This patch introduces pending_sync, a separate flag just to show that the
requester needs a sync. Alongside, we remove the tricky caching of
p->flags now because after this patch p->flags should only be used by
multifd sender thread now, which will be crystal clear. So it is always
thread safe to access p->flags.
With that, we can also safely convert the pending_job into a boolean,
because we don't support >1 pending jobs anyway.
Always use atomic ops to access both flags to make sure no cache effect.
When at it, drop the initial setting of "pending_job = 0" because it's
always allocated using g_new0().

This array is redundant when p->pages exists. Now we extended the life of
p->pages to the whole period where pending_job is set, it should be safe to
always use p->pages->offset[] rather than p->normal[]. Drop the array.
Alongside, the normal_num is also redundant, which is the same to
p->pages->num.
This doesn't apply to recv side, because there's no extra buffering on recv
side, so p->normal[] array is still needed.

Multifd send side has two fields to indicate error quits:
- MultiFDSendParams.quit
- &multifd_send_state->exiting
Merge them into the global one. The replacement is done by changing all
p->quit checks into the global var check. The global check doesn't need
any lock.
A few more things done on top of this altogether:
- multifd_send_terminate_threads()
Moving the xchg() of &multifd_send_state->exiting upper, so as to cover
the tracepoint, migrate_set_error() and migrate_set_state().
- multifd_send_sync_main()
In the 2nd loop, add one more check over the global var to make sure we
don't keep the looping if QEMU already decided to quit.
- multifd_tls_outgoing_handshake()
Use multifd_send_terminate_threads() to set the error state. That has
a benefit of updating MigrationState.error to that error too, so we can
persist that 1st error we hit in that specific channel.
- multifd_new_send_channel_async()
Take similar approach like above, drop the migrate_set_error() because
multifd_send_terminate_threads() already covers that. Unwrap the helper
multifd_new_send_channel_cleanup() along the way; not really needed.

Currently running migration_incoming_state_destroy() without first running
multifd_load_cleanup() will cause a yank error:
qemu-system-x86_64: ../util/yank.c:107: yank_unregister_instance:
Assertion `QLIST_EMPTY(&entry->yankfns)' failed.
(core dumped)
The above error happens in the target host, when multifd is being used
for precopy, and then postcopy is triggered and the migration finishes.
This will crash the VM in the target host.
To avoid that, move multifd_load_cleanup() inside
migration_incoming_state_destroy(), so that the load cleanup becomes part
of the incoming state destroying process.
Running multifd_load_cleanup() twice can become an issue, though, but the
only scenario it could be ran twice is on process_incoming_migration_bh().
So removing this extra call is necessary.
On the other hand, this multifd_load_cleanup() call happens way before the
migration_incoming_state_destroy() and having this happening before
dirty_bitmap_mig_before_vm_start() and vm_start() may be a need.
So introduce a new function multifd_load_shutdown() that will mainly stop
all multifd threads and close their QIOChannels. Then use this function
instead of multifd_load_cleanup() to make sure nothing else is received
before dirty_bitmap_mig_before_vm_start().

Current logic assumes that channel connections on the destination side are
always established in the same order as the source and the first one will
always be the main channel followed by the multifid or post-copy
preemption channel. This may not be always true, as even if a channel has a
connection established on the source side it can be in the pending state on
the destination side and a newer connection can be established first.
Basically causing out of order mapping of channels on the destination side.
Currently, all channels except post-copy preempt send a magic number, this
patch uses that magic number to decide the type of channel. This logic is
applicable only for precopy(multifd) live migration, as mentioned, the
post-copy preempt channel does not send any magic number. Also, tls live
migrations already does tls handshake before creating other channels, so
this issue is not possible with tls, hence this logic is avoided for tls
live migrations. This patch uses read peek to check the magic number of
channels so that current data/control stream management remains
un-effected.

dgilbert: Typo fixes from Chen Zhang
Implement zero copy send on nocomp_send_write(), by making use of QIOChannel
writev + flags & flush interface.
Change multifd_send_sync_main() so flush_zero_copy() can be called
after each iteration in order to make sure all dirty pages are sent before
a new iteration is started. It will also flush at the beginning and at the
end of migration.
Also make it return -1 if flush_zero_copy() fails, in order to cancel
the migration process, and avoid resuming the guest in the target host
without receiving all current RAM.
This will work fine on RAM migration because the RAM pages are not usually freed,
and there is no problem on changing the pages content between writev_zero_copy() and
the actual sending of the buffer, because this change will dirty the page and
cause it to be re-sent on a next iteration anyway.
A lot of locked memory may be needed in order to use multifd migration
with zero-copy enabled, so disabling the feature should be necessary for
low-privileged users trying to perform multifd migrations.

Rename num_normal_pages to total_normal_pages (peter)
We are only sending normal pages through multifd channels.
Later on this series, we are going to also send zero pages.
We are going to detect if a page is zero or non zero in the multifd
channel thread, not on the main thread.
So we receive an array of pages page->offset[N]
And we will end with:
p->normal[N - zero_pages]
p->zero[zero_pages].
In this patch, we just copy all the pages in offset to normal.
for (i = 0; i < pages->num; i++) {
p->narmal[p->normal_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->normal_num++:

Later in the series this becomes:
for (i = 0; i < pages->num; i++) {

p->zerol[p->zero_num] = pages->offset[i];
p->zero_num++:
