Migration with zero-copy-send currently has it's limitations, as it can't
be used with TLS nor any kind of compression. In such scenarios, it should
output errors during parameter / capability setting.
But currently there are some ways of setting this not-supported scenarios
without printing the error message:
!) For 'compression' capability, it works by enabling it together with
zero-copy-send. This happens because the validity test for zero-copy uses
the helper unction migrate_use_compression(), which check for compression
presence in s->enabled_capabilities[MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_COMPRESS].
The point here is: the validity test happens before the capability gets
enabled. If all of them get enabled together, this test will not return
error.
In order to fix that, replace migrate_use_compression() by directly testing
the cap_list parameter migrate_caps_check().
2) For features enabled by parameters such as TLS & 'multifd_compression',
there was also a possibility of setting non-supported scenarios: setting
zero-copy-send first, then setting the unsupported parameter.
In order to fix that, also add a check for parameters conflicting with
zero-copy-send on migrate_params_check().
3) XBZRLE is also a compression capability, so it makes sense to also add
it to the list of capabilities which are not supported with zero-copy-send.

Some errors, like the lack of Scatter-Gather support by the network
interface(NETIF_F_SG) may cause sendmsg(...,MSG_ZEROCOPY) to fail on using
zero-copy, which causes it to fall back to the default copying mechanism.
After each full dirty-bitmap scan there should be a zero-copy flush
happening, which checks for errors each of the previous calls to
sendmsg(...,MSG_ZEROCOPY). If all of them failed to use zero-copy, then
increment dirty_sync_missed_zero_copy migration stat to let the user know

With preemption mode on, when we see a postcopy request that was requesting
for exactly the page that we have preempted before (so we've partially sent
the page already via PRECOPY channel and it got preempted by another
postcopy request), currently we drop the request so that after all the
other postcopy requests are serviced then we'll go back to precopy stream
and start to handle that.
We dropped the request because we can't send it via postcopy channel since
the precopy channel already contains partial of the data, and we can only
send a huge page via one channel as a whole. We can't split a huge page
into two channels.
That's a very corner case and that works, but there's a change on the order
of postcopy requests that we handle since we're postponing this (unlucky)
postcopy request to be later than the other queued postcopy requests. The
problem is there's a possibility that when the guest was very busy, the
postcopy queue can be always non-empty, it means this dropped request will
never be handled until the end of postcopy migration. So, there's a chance
that there's one dest QEMU vcpu thread waiting for a page fault for an
extremely long time just because it's unluckily accessing the specific page
that was preempted before.
The worst case time it needs can be as long as the whole postcopy migration
procedure. It's extremely unlikely to happen, but when it happens it's not
good.
The root cause of this problem is because we treat pss->postcopy_requested
variable as with two meanings bound together, as the variable shows:
1. Whether this page request is urgent, and,
2. Which channel we should use for this page request.
With the old code, when we set postcopy_requested it means either both (1)
and (2) are true, or both (1) and (2) are false. We can never have (1)
and (2) to have different values.
However it doesn't necessarily need to be like that. It's very legal that
there's one request that has (1) very high urgency, but (2) we'd like to
use the precopy channel. Just like the corner case we were discussing
above.
To differenciate the two meanings better, introduce a new field called
postcopy_target_channel, showing which channel we should use for this page
request, so as to cover the old meaning (2) only. Then we leave the
postcopy_requested variable to stand only for meaning (1), which is the
urgency of this page request.
With this change, we can easily boost priority of a preempted precopy page
as long as we know that page is also requested as a postcopy page. So with
the new approach in get_queued_page() instead of dropping that request, we
send it right away with the precopy channel so we get back the ordering of
the page faults just like how they're requested on dest.

Note that only the src QEMU needs such operation; the dest QEMU does not

It's useful for specifying tls credentials all in the cmdline (along with
the -object tls-creds-*), especially for debugging purpose.
The trick here is we must remember to not free these fields again in the
finalize() function of migration object, otherwise it'll cause double-free.
The thing is when destroying an object, we'll first destroy the properties
that bound to the object, then the object itself. To be explicit, when
destroy the object in object_finalize() we have such sequence of
operations:
object_property_del_all(obj);
object_deinit(obj, ti);
So after this change the two fields are properly released already even
before reaching the finalize() function but in object_property_del_all(),
hence we don't need to free them anymore in finalize() or it's double-free.
This also fixes a trivial memory leak for tls-authz as we forgot to free it
before this patch.

This patch allows the postcopy preempt channel to be created
asynchronously. The benefit is that when the connection is slow, we won't
take the BQL (and potentially block all things like QMP) for a long time
without releasing.
A function postcopy_preempt_wait_channel() is introduced, allowing the
migration thread to be able to wait on the channel creation. The channel
is always created by the main thread, in which we'll kick a new semaphore
to tell the migration thread that the channel has created.
We'll need to wait for the new channel in two places: (1) when there's a
new postcopy migration that is starting, or (2) when there's a postcopy
migration to resume.
For the start of migration, we don't need to wait for this channel until
when we want to start postcopy, aka, postcopy_start(). We'll fail the
migration if we found that the channel creation failed (which should
probably not happen at all in 99% of the cases, because the main channel is
using the same network topology).
For a postcopy recovery, we'll need to wait in postcopy_pause(). In that
case if the channel creation failed, we can't fail the migration or we'll
crash the VM, instead we keep in PAUSED state, waiting for yet another
recovery.

To allow postcopy recovery, the ram fast load (preempt-only) dest QEMU thread
needs similar handling on fault tolerance. When ram_load_postcopy() fails,
instead of stopping the thread it halts with a semaphore, preparing to be
kicked again when recovery is detected.
A mutex is introduced to make sure there's no concurrent operation upon the
socket. To make it simple, the fast ram load thread will take the mutex during
its whole procedure, and only release it if it's paused. The fast-path socket
will be properly released by the main loading thread safely when there's
network failures during postcopy with that mutex held.

This patch enables postcopy-preempt feature.
It contains two major changes to the migration logic:
(1) Postcopy requests are now sent via a different socket from precopy
background migration stream, so as to be isolated from very high page
request delays.
(2) For huge page enabled hosts: when there's postcopy requests, they can now
intercept a partial sending of huge host pages on src QEMU.
After this patch, we'll live migrate a VM with two channels for postcopy: (1)
PRECOPY channel, which is the default channel that transfers background pages;
and (2) POSTCOPY channel, which only transfers requested pages.
There's no strict rule of which channel to use, e.g., if a requested page is
already being transferred on precopy channel, then we will keep using the same
precopy channel to transfer the page even if it's explicitly requested. In 99%
of the cases we'll prioritize the channels so we send requested page via the
postcopy channel as long as possible.
On the source QEMU, when we found a postcopy request, we'll interrupt the
PRECOPY channel sending process and quickly switch to the POSTCOPY channel.
After we serviced all the high priority postcopy pages, we'll switch back to
PRECOPY channel so that we'll continue to send the interrupted huge page again.
There's no new thread introduced on src QEMU.
On the destination QEMU, one new thread is introduced to receive page data from
the postcopy specific socket (done in the preparation patch).
This patch has a side effect: after sending postcopy pages, previously we'll
assume the guest will access follow up pages so we'll keep sending from there.
Now it's changed. Instead of going on with a postcopy requested page, we'll go
back and continue sending the precopy huge page (which can be intercepted by a
postcopy request so the huge page can be sent partially before).
Whether that's a problem is debatable, because "assuming the guest will
continue to access the next page" may not really suite when huge pages are
used, especially if the huge page is large (e.g. 1GB pages). So that locality
hint is much meaningless if huge pages are used.

dgilbert: With Peter's fix to quieten compiler warning on
start_migration
Firstly, postcopy already preempts precopy due to the fact that we do
unqueue_page() first before looking into dirty bits.
However that's not enough, e.g., when there're host huge page enabled, when
sending a precopy huge page, a postcopy request needs to wait until the whole
huge page that is sending to finish. That could introduce quite some delay,
the bigger the huge page is the larger delay it'll bring.
This patch adds a new capability to allow postcopy requests to preempt existing
precopy page during sending a huge page, so that postcopy requests can be
serviced even faster.
Meanwhile to send it even faster, bypass the precopy stream by providing a
standalone postcopy socket for sending requested pages.
Since the new behavior will not be compatible with the old behavior, this will
not be the default, it's enabled only when the new capability is set on both
src/dst QEMUs.
This patch only adds the capability itself, the logic will be added in follow
up patches.

zlib_send_prepare() compresses pages of a running VM. zlib does not

One can observe problems due to this with the IBM zEnterprise Data
Compression accelerator capable zlib [2]. When the hardware
acceleration is enabled, migration/multifd/tcp/plain/zlib test fails
intermittently [3] due to sliding window corruption. The accelerator's
architecture explicitly discourages concurrent accesses [4]:
Page 26-57, "Other Conditions":
As observed by this CPU, other CPUs, and channel
programs, references to the parameter block, first,
second, and third operands may be multiple-access
references, accesses to these storage locations are
not necessarily block-concurrent, and the sequence
of these accesses or references is undefined.
Mark Adler pointed out that vanilla zlib performs double fetches under
certain circumstances as well [5], therefore we need to copy data
before passing it to deflate().

The name 'ftell' gives the misleading impression that the QEMUFile
objects are seekable. This is not the case, as in general we just
have an opaque stream. The users of this method are only interested
in the total bytes processed. This switches to a new name that

The field name 'pos' gives the misleading impression that the QEMUFile
objects are seekable. This is not the case, as in general we just
have an opaque stream. The users of this method are only interested
in the total bytes processed. This switches to a new name that
reflects the intended usage.
Every QIOChannel backed impl of QEMUFile is currently ignoring the
'pos' field.
The only QEMUFile impl using 'pos' as an offset for I/O is the block
device vmstate. A later patch is introducing a QIOChannel impl for the
vmstate, and to handle this it is tracking a file offset itself
internally to the QIOChannel impl. So when we later eliminate the
QEMUFileOps callbacks later, the 'pos' field will no longer be used
from any I/O read/write methods.

This renames the following QEMUFile fields
* bytes_xfer -> rate_limit_used
* xfer_limit -> rate_limit_max
The intent is to make it clear that 'bytes_xfer' is specifically related
to rate limiting of data and applies to data queued, which need not have
been transferred on the wire yet if a flush hasn't taken place.

The QEMUFile 'save_hook' callback has a 'size_t size' parameter.
The RDMA impl of this has logic that takes different actions
depending on whether the value is zero or non-zero. It has
commented out logic that would have taken further actions
if the value was negative.
The only place where the 'save_hook' callback is invoked is
the ram_control_save_page() method, which passes 'size'
through from its caller. The only caller of this method is
in turn control_save_page(). This method unconditionally
passes the 'TARGET_PAGE_SIZE' constant for the 'size' parameter.
IOW, the only scenario for 'size' that can execute in the
qemu_rdma_save_page method is 'size > 0'. The remaining code
has been unreachable since RDMA support was first introduced
9 years ago.

When originally implemented, zero_copy_send was designed as a Migration
paramenter.
But taking into account how is that supposed to work, and how
the difference between a capability and a parameter, it only makes sense
that zero-copy-send would work better as a capability.
Taking into account how recently the change got merged, it was decided
that it's still time to make it right, and convert zero_copy_send into
a Migration capability.

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.

Since d48c3a0445 ("multifd: Use a single writev on the send side"),
sending the header packet and the memory pages happens in the same
writev, which can potentially make the migration faster.
Using channel-socket as example, this works well with the default copying
mechanism of sendmsg(), but with zero-copy-send=true, it will cause
the migration to often break.
This happens because the header packet buffer gets reused quite often,
and there is a high chance that by the time the MSG_ZEROCOPY mechanism get
to send the buffer, it has already changed, sending the wrong data and
causing the migration to abort.
It means that, as it is, the buffer for the header packet is not suitable
for sending with MSG_ZEROCOPY.
In order to enable zero copy for multifd, send the header packet on an
individual write(), without any flags, and the remanining pages with a
writev(), as it was happening before. This only changes how a migration
with zero-copy-send=true works, not changing any current behavior for
migrations with zero-copy-send=false.

Even though multifd_send_sync_main() currently emits error_reports, it's
callers don't really check it before continuing.
Change multifd_send_sync_main() to return -1 on error and 0 on success.
Also change all it's callers to make use of this change and possibly fail
earlier.
(This change is important to next patch on multifd zero copy
implementation, to make it sure an error in zero-copy flush does not go
unnoticed.

Add flags to io_writev and introduce io_flush as optional callback to
QIOChannelClass, allowing the implementation of zero copy writes by
subclasses.
How to use them:
- Write data using qio_channel_writev*(...,QIO_CHANNEL_WRITE_FLAG_ZERO_COPY),
- Wait write completion with qio_channel_flush().
Notes:
As some zero copy write implementations work asynchronously, it's
recommended to keep the write buffer untouched until the return of
qio_channel_flush(), to avoid the risk of sending an updated buffer
instead of the buffer state during write.
As io_flush callback is optional, if a subclass does not implement it, then:
- io_flush will return 0 without changing anything.
Also, some functions like qio_channel_writev_full_all() were adapted to
receive a flag parameter. That allows shared code between zero copy and
non-zero copy writev, and also an easier implementation on new flags.

The 'status' field for the migration is updated normally using
an atomic operation from the migration thread.
Most readers of it aren't that careful, and in most cases it doesn't
matter.
In query_migrate->fill_source_migration_info the 'state'
is read twice; the first time to decide which state fields to fill in,
and then secondly to copy the state to the status field; that can end up
with a status that's inconsistent; e.g. setting up the fields
for 'setup' and then having an 'active' status. In that case
libvirt gets upset by the lack of ram info.
The symptom is:
libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: migration was active, but no RAM info was set
Read the state exactly once in fill_source_migration_info.
