Introduce "x-vcpu-dirty-limit" migration parameter used
to limit dirty page rate during live migration.
"x-vcpu-dirty-limit" and "x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period" are
two dirty-limit-related migration parameters, which can
be set before and during live migration by qmp
migrate-set-parameters.
This two parameters are used to help implement the dirty
page rate limit algo of migration.

Shouldn't 'x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period' have feature 'unstable', too?
Same below.

Introduce migration dirty-limit capability, which can
be turned on before live migration and limit dirty
page rate durty live migration.
Introduce migrate_dirty_limit function to help check
if dirty-limit capability enabled during live migration.
Meanwhile, refactor vcpu_dirty_rate_stat_collect
so that period can be configured instead of hardcoded.
dirty-limit capability is kind of like auto-converge
but using dirty limit instead of traditional cpu-throttle
to throttle guest down. To enable this feature, turn on
the dirty-limit capability before live migration using
migratioin-set-capabilities, and set the parameters
"x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period", "vcpu-dirty-limit" suitably
to speed up convergence.

Hmm. You make dirty-limiting as a whole a stable interface (evidence:
capability "dirty-limit" is stable), but keep its two parameters
unstable. Rationale behind that?

Thanks Markus's comments. :)
x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period is an experimental parameter indeed, as to
x-vcpu-dirty-limit, i think it's resonable to be a stable parameter.
These 2 parameters are introduced first time and none of them suffer
heavily tests, so i also made vcpu-dirty-limit experimental last version.
For dirty-limit interface, it improves the vCPU computational
performance during migration indeed(see the test results in cover
letter), so it sounds ok to be an stable interface.
The 'x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period' parameter can be dropped, IMHO, after
being proved insignificant for migration in the future, and meanwhile,
x-vcpu-dirty-limit be made stable.
Since I don't have much experience to introducing fresh new interface,
any suggestions are welcome.

Is the new interface fit for purpose without use of any experimental
parameter?
If the answer is something like "command dirty-limit improves things
even without use of experimental parameters, but using them may well
improve things more (but we need more testing to know for sure)", then
your current use of 'unstable' may make sense.

Yes, with the default value of parameter，the new interface works ok and
improve performance.
For x-vcpu-dirty-limit, we provide it because user may not want virtual
CPU throttle heavily, x-vcpu-dirty-limit is kind of like
cpu-throttle-percentage, which is used to setup the threshold when
making guest down.
For x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period, it is just as you said: "command
dirty-limit improves things even without use of experimental parameters,
but using them may wellimprove things more (but we need more testing to
know for sure)"
So, should i make x-vcpu-dirty-limit non-experimental next version?

I think this depends on what exactly you want to signal to users.
Your current patch has command dirty-limit stable and the parameters
unstable. This signals "go ahead and use dirty-limit, don't worry about
the parameters; even if they become stable later, using just dirty-limit
will remain okay."
If you keep the command unstable as well, you signal the entire
interface isn't quite baked, yet. That's a much weaker proposition.
So weak in fact that you cannot go wrong :)
In short, it boils down to whether you want to encourage use of a part
of the evolving interface *now*. Make that part stable. Requires
confidence in that part, obviously.

Implement dirty-limit convergence algo for live migration,
which is kind of like auto-converge algo but using dirty-limit
instead of cpu throttle to make migration convergent.

We'll call this multiple time, but only the 1st call will make sense, right?
Can we call it once somewhere? E.g. at the start of migration?

Yes.
>

behavior of dirtylimit migration would be kind of different from
auto-converge, i mean, dirtylimit will make guest write vCPU slow no
matter if dirty_rate_high_cnt exceed 2 times. For those vms that dirty
memory lightly, they can get convergent without throttle, but in the new
way ,if we set the dirtylimit to a very low value, they may suffer
restriction. Can we accept that ?

The two fields of migration info aims to export dirty-limit throttle
time so that upper apps can check out the process of live migration,
like 'cpu-throttle-percentage'.
The commit "tests: Add migration dirty-limit capability test" make use
of the 'dirty-limit-throttle-us-per-full' to checkout if dirty-limit has
started, the commit "tests/migration: Introduce dirty-limit into
guestperf" introduce the two field so guestperf tools also show the
process of dirty-limit migration.
And i also use qmp_query_migrate to observe the migration by checkout
these two fields.
I'm not sure if above explantation is what you want exactly, please be
free to start any discussion about this features.
Thank Markus.

You explained use cases, which is always welcome.
I'm trying to understand the two new members' meaning, i.e. what exactly
is being measured.
For existing @cpu-throttle-percentage, the doc comment tells me:
"percentage of time guest cpus are being throttled during
auto-converge."
For the your new members, the doc comment tries to tell me, but it
doesn't succeed. If you explain what is being measured more verbosely,
we may be able to improve the doc comment.

dirty-limit-throttle-us-per-full：
Means the time vCPU should sleep once it's dirty ring get full, since we
set limit on vCPU every time it returns to Qemu for the
KVM_EXIT_DIRTY_RING_FULL reason, the sleep time may also changes everty
time dirty ring get full. 'dirty-limit-throttle-us-per-full' can be
simplified as 'throttle time(us) every time vCPU's dirty ring full get
full'. The 'dirty-limit' is just the prefix to mark that parameter is
dirty-limit-related.
dirty-limit-us-ring-full:
It is an estimated value which means the time a vCPU's dirty ring get
full. It depends on the vCPU's dirty page rate, the higher the rate is,
the smaller dirty-limit-us-ring-full is.
dirty-limit-throttle-us-per-full / dirty-limit-us-ring-full * 100 is
kind of like 'cpu-throttle-percentage'.

Yong

Add migration dirty-limit capability test if kernel support
dirty ring.
Migration dirty-limit capability introduce dirty limit
capability, two parameters: x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period and
x-vcpu-dirty-limit are introduced to implement the live
migration with dirty limit.
The test case does the following things:
1. start src, dst vm and enable dirty-limit capability
2. start migrate and set cancel it to check if dirty limit
stop working.
3. restart dst vm
4. start migrate and enable dirty-limit capability
5. check if migration satisfy the convergence condition
during pre-switchover phase.

Guestperf tool does not enable diry ring feature when test
migration by default.
To support dirty ring migration performance test, introduce
dirty-ring-size option into guestperf tools, which ranges in
[1024, 65536].
To set dirty ring size with 4096 during migration test:
$ ./tests/migration/guestperf.py --dirty-ring-size 4096 xxx

Guestperf tool does not cover the dirty-limit migration
currently, support this feature.
To enable dirty-limit, setting x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period
as 500ms and x-vcpu-dirty-limit as 10MB/s:
$ ./tests/migration/guestperf.py \
--dirty-limit --x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period 500 \
--x-vcpu-dirty-limit 10 --output output.json \
To run the entire standardized set of dirty-limit-enabled
comparisons, with unix migration:
$ ./tests/migration/guestperf-batch.py \
--dst-host localhost --transport unix \
--filter compr-dirty-limit* --output outputdir

Yong,
I should have asked even earlier - just curious whether you have started
using this in production systems? It's definitely not required for any
patchset to be merged, but it'll be very useful (and supportive)
information to have if there's proper testing beds applied already.
Thanks,

Actually no when i posted the cover letter above, the qemu version in
our production is much lower than upstream, and the patchset is
different from here, i built test mode and did the test on my own in the
first time. But this feature is in the process of test conducted by
another professional test team, so once report is ready, i'll post it. :)

Yes, of course, but the detailed test report has not been prepared, and
the last 3 commits of this patchset has not been commentted, i'm waiting
for the it and the next version can be improved hugely.
Ping to Daniel and David, what do you think of these 3 test patches?
I would be very pleased if you could help me with the review. :)
Thanks
