If the err is RECORD_NOT_PROCESSED, and it is an optional record,
restore will still fail. The patch fix this.

For PVHVM, the hypercall return code is 0, and it can be resumed
in a new domain context.
we suspend PVHVM and resume it is like this:
1. suspend it via evtchn
2. modifty the return code to 1
3. the guest know that the suspend is cancelled, we will use fast path
to resume it.
Under COLO, we will update the guest's state(modify memory, cpu's registers,
device status...). In this case, we cannot use the fast path to resume it.
Keep the return code 0, and use a slow path to resume the guest. We have
updated the guest state, so we call it a new domain context.
For HVM, the hypercall is a NOP.

ioreq page contains evtchn which will be set when we resume the
secondary vm the first time. The hypervisor will check if the
evtchn is corrupted, so we cannot zero the ioreq page more
than one time.
The ioreq->state is always STATE_IOREQ_NONE after the vm is
suspended, so it is OK if we only zero it one time.

When we are under COLO, we will send dirty page bitmap info from
secondary to primary at every checkpoint. So we need to get/test
the dirty page bitmap. We just expose xc_bitops.h for libxl use.
NOTE:
Need to make clean and rerun configure to get it compiled.

Secondary vm is running in colo mode. So we will do
the following things again and again:
1. suspend both primay vm and secondary vm
2. sync the state
3. resume both primary vm and secondary vm
We will send qemu's state each time in step2, and
slave's qemu should read it each time before resuming
secondary vm. Introduce a new API libxl__domain_restore()
to do it. This API should be called before resuming
secondary vm.

The guest is paused after libxl_domain_create_restore().
Secondary vm is running in colo mode. So we need to unpause
the guest. The current API libxl_domain_unpause() is
not an internal API. Introduce a new API to support it.
No functional change.

Secondary vm is running in colo mode, we need to send
secondary vm's dirty page information to master at checkpoint,
so we have to enable qemu logdirty on secondary.
libxl__domain_suspend_common_switch_qemu_logdirty() is to enable
qemu logdirty. But it uses domain_save_state, and calls
libxl__xc_domain_saverestore_async_callback_done()
before exits. This can not be used for secondary vm.
Update libxl__domain_suspend_common_switch_qemu_logdirty() to
introduce a new API libxl__domain_common_switch_qemu_logdirty().
This API only uses libxl__logdirty_switch, and calls
lds->callback before exits.

Currently, all callbacks return an integer value or void. We cannot
return some data to xc via callback. Update libxl_save_msgs_gen.pl
to support this case.

In colo mode, slave needs to send data to master, but the io_fd
only can be written in master, and only can be read in slave.
Save recv_fd in domain_suspend_state, and send_fd in
domain_create_state.

Checkpoint device is an abstract layer to do checkpoint.
COLO can also use it to do checkpoint. But there are
still some codes in checkpoint device which touch remus:
1. remus_ops: we use remus ops directly in checkpoint
device. Store it in checkpoint device state.
2. concrete layer's private member: add a new structure
remus state, and move them to remus state.
3. init/cleanup device subkind: we call (init|cleanup)_subkind_nic
and (init|cleanup)_subkind_drbd_disk directly in checkpoint
device. Call them before calling libxl__checkpoint_devices_setup()
or after calling libxl__checkpoint_devices_teardown().

There will be another error type in COLO, which indicates a failover, that
needs to be handled in restore(), so I moved the error handling down to
avoid duplex code...Otherwise, in process_record, RECORD_NOT_PROCESSED is
handled, and in restore another error type returned from process_record is
handled...

The issue here is that we are running the restore algorithm over a
domain which has already been running in Xen for a while. This is a
brand new usecase, as far as I am aware.
Does the qemu process associated with this domain get frozen while the
secondary is being reset, or does the process get destroyed and recreated.
I have a gut feeling that it would be safer to clear all of the page
other than the event channel, but that depends on exactly what else is
going on. We absolutely don't want to do is have an update to this page
from the primary with an in-progress IOREQ.

Or actually worse, an update from the primary with a different event
channel in it. There is no requirement or guarantee that the bufioreq
event channels are the same on either side.

Exactly.

What do you mean by reset? do you mean secondary is suspended at checkpoint?

Just to note that xc_bitops.h needs cleanup as Andy pointed out in v1...
It will done in v3.

Well - at the point that the buffered records are being processed, we
are in the process of resetting the state of the secondary to match the
primary.

Yes, at this point, the qemu process associated with this domain is frozen.
the suspend callback will call libxl__qmp_stop(vm_stop() in qemu) to pause
qemu. After we processed all records, qemu will be restored with the received
state, that's why we add a libxl__qmp_restore(qemu_load_vmstate() in qemu)
api to restore qemu with received state. Currently in libxl, qemu only start
with the received state, there's no api to load received state while qemu is
running for a while.

Now I consider this more, it is absolutely wrong to not zero the page
here. The event channel in the page is not guaranteed to be the same
between the primary and secondary, and we don't want to unexpectedly
find a pending/in-flight ioreq.
Either qemu needs to take care of re-initialising the event channels
back to appropriate values, or Xen should tolerate the channels
disappearing.

ioreq->state is always STATE_IOREQ_NONE after the vm is suspended, there
should be no pending/in-flight ioreq at checkpoint.

I think you missed my point. Apologies for the double negative. It
must, under all circumstances, be zeroed at this point, for safety reasons.
The page in question is subject to logdirty just like any other guest
pages, which means that if the guest writes to it naturally (i.e. not a
Xen or Qemu write, both of whom have magic mappings which are not
subject to logdirty), it will be transmitted in the stream. As the
event channel could be different, the lack of zeroing it at this point
means that the event channel would be wrong as opposed to simply
missing. This is a worse position to be in.

In the common case perhaps, but we must consider the exceptional case.
The exceptional case here is some corruption which happens to appear as
an in-flight ioreq.

I still stand by this statement. I believe it is the only safe way of
solving the issue you have discovered.

The guest should not access this page. I am not sure if the guest can
access the ioreq page.
But in the exceptional case, the ioreq page is dirtied, and is copied to
the secondary vm. The ioreq page will contain a wrong event channel, the
hypervisor will check it: if the event channel is wrong, the guest will
be crashed.

If the state is STATE_IOREQ_NONE, it may be hypervisor's bug. If the hypervisor
has a bug, anything can happen. I think we should trust the hypervisor.

Add a new qemu monitor command to update ioreq page?

"should not" and "can't" are two very different things. We have had
XSAs covering the fact that the guest can write to these pages in the past.
In practice, a guest can't actually query the appropriate hvmparam, but
it can rely on the fact that the domain builder is incredibly
predictable in this regard.

This is my point. It is completely legitimate for the event channels to
be different between the primary and secondary, which means that we
should be capable of dealing cleanly with the fallout when the bufioreq
page does appear as dirty update.

In the worst case, the contents of the pages can be completely
arbitrary. Zeroing of the pages is to cover the case where there is
junk present, so Xen doesn't crash the guest due to a bad ioreq state.
I think Xen's behaviour is legitimate here. If it observes wonky ioreq

Who/what actually complains about the event channel? I can't see any
event channels in the ABI for the pages.

QEMU only samples the event channels from the shared ioreq page on startup as it does not expect them to change in its lifetime.

If you're attaching to a 'new' VM (i.e one with an updated image) then I suspect you're going to have to destroy and re-create the ioreq server so that the shared page gets re-populated with the correct event channels. Either that or you're going to have to ensure that the page is not part of restored image and sample the new one that Xen should have set up.

I agree with it. I will try to add a new qemu monitor command(or do it when
updating qemu's state) to destroy and re-create it.

The slightly tricky part of that is that you're going to have to cache and replay all the registrations that were done on the old instance, but you need to do that in any case as it's not state that is transferred in the VM save record.

Why do we have to cache and replay all the registrations that were done on the old instance?
We will set to the guest to a new state, the old state should be dropped.

Do you not have device models that you need to continue to function? When the ioreq server is torn down then all MMIO, port IO and PCI config ranges that were mapped to it will disappear.

Whichever approach you take to fixing this, please say _how_ the change
fixes it, it's not at all clear why moving this code should matter.
And if there is an ulterior motive behind the move, please say that too.

This doesn't match my reading of domain_resume on the Xen side, which is
the ultimate effect of this hypercall. It seems to unpause the domain
(and all vcpus) regardless of the domain type, including PVHVM vs HVM
(which isn't something Xen is generally aware of anyway).
I also can't really follow the stuff about PVHVM vs HVM vs uncooperative
guests, and I certainly can't see where the PVHVM vs HVM distinction is
made in this patch.

Yes, I don't known which should be done unless I implement and test it.
I have some questions about it:
1. Can guest access the ioreq page? If the page is modified by the guest unexpectedly,
what will happen?
2. If the ioreq page is dirtied by the guest, it will be transfered from primary
to secondary during checkpoint. The evtchn is invalid, I think the best behavior
is that: make the guest crashed, not continue to run.

For the first question, Yes, this is done in the suspend callback on
restore side. We do this in libxl because currently we only added a
back channel on libxl side. There're no back channel in libxc.
By considering this more, if we do this in libxc part, the code will be
less complex: we can drop the 4th & 9th patch of this series and also
get rid of the get_dirty_pfn() callback. instead we will add a patch to
add back channel in libxc.
For the second question, I'm not sure, what's Andrew's opinion? which
is the right layer to do this operation, libxl or libxc?

We added the qemu interface "xen-load-devices-state",
it's not in qemu upstream yet.

It's just that we thought it's better to use internal functions for
internal purpose.
Most the public functions take ctx as the first param, the internal functions
take gc/egc as the first param(although we can get ctx from gcs and call
public functions when needed).
If it doesn't matter, we can drop this patch.

Sorry for my mistake. I read the codes again:
1. suspend
a. PVHVM and PV: we use the same way to suspend the guest(send the suspend
request to the guest)
b. pure HVM: we call xc_domain_shutdown(..., SHUTDOWN_suspend) to suspend
the guest
c. ???: suspending the guest via XenBus control node
I don't know we will goto c in which case.
2. Resume:
a. fast path
In this case, we don't change the guest's state.
PV: modify the return code to 1, and than call the domctl: XEN_DOMCTL_resumedomain
PVHVM: same with PV
HVM: do nothing in modify_returncode, and than call the domctl: XEN_DOMCTL_resumedomain
b. slow
In this case, we have changed the guest's state.
PV: update start info, and reset all secondary CPU states. Than call the
domctl: XEN_DOMCTL_resumedomain
PVHVM and HVM can not be resumed.
For PVHVM, in my test, only call the domctl: XEN_DOMCTL_resumedomain
can work. I am not sure if we should update start info and reset all secondary CPU
states.
For pure HVM guest, in my test, only call the domctl: XEN_DOMCTL_resumedomain can
work.
So we can call libxl__domain_resume(..., 1) if we don't change the guest state, otherwise
call libxl__domain_resume(..., 0).
Any suggestion is welcomed.

No, the guest cannot modify the pages once a non-default ioreq server is active. The pages are removed from the guest P2M when it is activated, which is one of the reasons for modifying QEMU to not behave as a legacy default server.

As I said, the pages are not in the P2M if the server is active so they will not be transferred as part of the VM state. However, this presents a problem; at the far end, the emulator will not be able to hook into the guest. So, when the source domain is paused, the ioreq server needs to be torn down (so that its pages are re-inserted into the P2M and marked dirty for transfer). This is what happens in a normal migration. One extra problem you have is that the source domain is not then killed, it is resumed along with the emulator. Thus, on resume, the emulator needs to create a new ioreq server and re-register all its device models with that new server.
I don't know the detail of what you do at the far end, but if you always start a new emulator instance using the QEMU save record then you should be fine (just like with a normal migration).

OK, please mention this dependency in the commit text since we will want
to be sure the interface is going to be accepted in this form by QEMU
upstream before we start using it. Please also CC the QEMU maintainers
on this patch in the future (by adding Cc: below the S-o-b if you don't
want to spam them the whole series), I've added them here now.
In particular "devices" seems odd to me, perhaps
"xen-load-device-state"?

AFAIK c is another option under a, it depends on whether the guest
supports evtchn or not, if not then the xenstore variant will be used.

However, this presents a problem; at the far end, the emulator will not be able to hook into the guest. So, when the source domain is paused, the ioreq server needs to be torn down (so that its pages are re-inserted into the P2M and marked dirty for transfer). This is what happens in a normal migration. One extra problem you have is that the source domain is not then killed, it is resumed along with the emulator. Thus, on resume, the emulator needs to create a new ioreq server and re-register all its device models with that new server.
> I don't know the detail of what you do at the far end, but if you always start a new emulator instance using the QEMU save record then you should be fine (just like with a normal migration).
I don't find the codes where the ioreq server is torn down when the source domain is paused. Which function?
In our implementation, we don't start a new emulator. The codes can work, but some bugs may be not triggered.

This api is an invert operation to "xen-save-devices-stat", we used the name
"xen-load-devices-state" in order to follow the existing naming style...

I remember it now. IIRC, the behavior in the guest are the same. Is it right?

If the public API creates a new AO, it is safe to call it directly?

I don't think libxl_domain_unpause is such a function though.

Sorry, I overstated that. By 'torn down' I meant disabled. The function that does it is:
static void xen_hvm_change_state_handler(void *opaque, int running,
RunState rstate)
{
XenIOState *state = opaque;
if (running) {
xen_main_loop_prepare(state);
}
xen_set_ioreq_server_state(xen_xc, xen_domid,
state->ioservid,
(rstate == RUN_STATE_RUNNING));
}

How do you reconcile the incoming QEMU save record with the running emulator state?

There are a number of bits of information which would be useful going in
"the backchannel".
Some are definitely more appropriate at the libxc level, but others are
more appropriate at the libxl.
If you recall from the hackathon, there was an Alibaba usecase where
they wanted a positive success/fail from the receiving side that the VM
has started up successfully before choosing between cleaning up or
continuing the VM on the sending side. This would have to be a libxl
level backchannel.
Whatever happens, backchannel wise, it should be a sensibly
type/length/chunk'd stream. (I think there is a spec or two floating
around somewhere which might be a good start ;p) There should probably
be a bit of active negotiation at the start of the backchannel to a)
confirm you have the correct backchannel and b) the backchannel is
actually functioning.
The data on "the backchannel" is always going to be in reply to an
action taking place in the primary channel, but there are complications
in that the libxc bit is inherently a blocking model. In terms of
coordination, I am leaning towards the view of it being easier and
cleaner for each level to maintain its own backchannel communication.
The libxc bits can expect to read some records out of the backchannel at
each checkpoint and take appropriate actions before starting the next
checkpoint.
Thoughts?

FWIW this particular case is currently an xl level backchannel, but I
think your general point stands.

Yes, I see it now.
If the ioreq page is cleared, can xen_main_loop_prepare() put the correct
evtchn in the ioreq page? If so, I think COLO can work without this patch.
In the hypervisor, the ioreq page is cleared before re-inserted into the P2M.
So the far end always gets the zeroed ioreq page.
IIRC, there is only default ioreq server when I wrote this patch. In that case
we don't have xen_main_loop_prepare(). It is OK that COLO cannot work with
an older version qemu.
Yang, can you test COLO without this patch? I guess it can work, and we can drop
this patch now.
Thanks

We introduce a qmp command "xen-load-devices-state"(libxl__qmp_restore) which
can restore the emulator state. The step of resotre emulator state at a
checkpoint is:
1. libxl__qmp_stop -> vm_stop() in qemu
2. libxl__qmp_restore -> load_vmstate() in qemu
3. libxl__qmp_resume -> vm_start() in qemu

Ok, that sounds like the ideal time to hook back into Xen by creating a new ioreq server.

I have some questions about ioreq server:
1. If we use old version xen and newest version qemu, is it OK? Is default
ioreq server created when the guest is created. xen_create_ioreq_server() does
nothing, and xen_get_ioreq_server_info() will get the default ioreq server information.
Is it right?
2. Why we create a default ioreq server when getting the hvm param if there is already a
not default ioreq server?
3. In the far end, we will clear the ioreq page, and this ioreq page is used for default
ioreq server, is it right?

No. It's not compatible in that direction. A new Xen will work with an old QEMU but not the other way round.

If something reads the 'legacy' HVM params then that is Xen's trigger to create the default server. Any 'new' emulator should be using the ioreq server hypercalls so the default server will not be needed.

Yes, AFAIK it's only the 'magic' pages that get cleared at the far end - and that includes the default server pages. Other ioreq servers will have their pages cleared on re-insertion to the P2M at the source end when the server is disabled.

If there are two ioreq servers: default ioreq server, and a ioreq server created by emulator. The guest can work it correctly in
this case? Is there any application(not emulator) that uses the libxenctrl directly?

You mean a secondary emulator? Yes, that's why there is the notion of default ioreq server... to allow a secondary emulator to be used even when an old QEMU is in use.

What do you mean by application? Toolstacks may use libxenctrl.

If the xen is newest, and qemu is old, how is the default ioreq server created
for the emulator? Will the old qemu call xc_get_hvm_param(), and the hypervisor
then creates a default ioreq server?
get is a 'readonly' operation, and creating the default ioreq server in it is
very strange.

No, only one emulator. Can we run more than one emulator for one hvm guest? How
to do it?

For example: libvirt. I know it uses libxl now. Is there any similar application
which uses libxenctrl.

Yes, more than one emulator can run. There's nothing in libxl to do it, but we do it in XenServer using XAPI.

This looks very similar to an existing function called
libxl__domain_resume_device_model. Maybe you don't need to invent a new
function.

The only difference between your function and
libxl__domain_unpause_device_model is the check for "state" node. I
think you can just add the check to libxl__domain_resume_device_model
and use that function.

I'm not entirely sure if we want to bury an extra argument here.
After looking at code I think you're trying to work around API
limitation. I think we are safe to extend the API -- we've already done
that before. See libxl.h around line 990.
Ian and Ian, what do you think?

I would also suggest you rename the last argument of migrate_receive in
this file from "remus" to "checkpointed_stream_type" since the semantics
of that parameter has changed.

I suppose this needs review from remus maintainer.

You should add two new error numbers.

And in that case you might also need to go through all places to make
sure the correct error numbers are return. I.e. old remus code path
still returns REMUS error code and new CHECKPOINT code path returns new
error code.
I merely speak from API backward compatibility point of view. If you
think what I suggest doesn't make sense, please let me know.

To me this line of reasons prompts me to ask: what would be wrong with
leaving the word REMUS in the error names, and simply updating the
descriptions ?
After all AFIACT the circumstances are very similar. I don't think it
makes sense to require libxl to do something like
rc = were_we_doing_colo_not_remus ? CHECKPOINT_BLAH : REMUS_BLAH;
Please to contradict me if I have misunderstood...

I agree with you, Wei. I don't think an fd should be in
libxl_domain_restore_params at all.
We need to understand what the API semantics are. Are are going to
introduce a new libxl API entrypoint ? We already have
libxl_domain_remus_start.

At the moment you can't. If you read the pfns then you will instantiate the server, which I agree is a bit of a problem if you're only doing a domain save.

Yes, but we have to instantiate the server so old version qemu can work.
Can we add a new interface to just get the ioreq pfn, buffer ioreq
pfn/evtchn?
For example HVM_PARAM_DEFAULT_IOREQ_PFN.

I'm not sure if we change the existing function's behavior will affect the
existing callers, if there's no problem to do so, I will do as what you
said in the next version.

COLO and REMUS both are checkpoint device. We use checkpoint device layer
as a more abstract layer for both COLO and REMUS, come to the error code,
these can be used by both COLO and REMUS. So we don't distinguish if we
are doing COLO or REMUS, uses are aware of what they're executing(colo
or remus).

So are you both agree that we should add a backchannel to libxc, move this

Qemu-dm currently has several states. libxl__domain_resume_device_model
doesn't check the state and writes unconditionally. I think checking
before writing would be an improvement.

Right. So continue using REMUS_ error code is fine.

(Odd two space indent from somewhere)
Can you be more specific about what kind of data you need to pass back
here? Is it an opaque "void *" blob or is it potentially more
structured? That is useful to know in case there might be a better way
to achieve the goal.

One question first: is it really to be expected that send_fd and recv_fd
will be different, as opposed to the bidirectional data going over the

Seems like it would also be OK to switch the name and then in libxl,h
#ifdef LIB_API_VERSION < 0xWHENEVER
#define REMUS_BLAH CHECKPOINT_BLAH
#define ...
#endif
_If_ we think the new names make more sense going fwd...

This is going to be quite large, potentially. Is assembling it in
memory in one go really the right approach ?
Also, I'm not sure why this information needs to be plumbed through to
libxl ? Maybe it would be better to offer libxc a backchannel,
directly.

If this is supposed to be able to work over a pipe, and ssh, then yes.
Even if you give ssh copies of the same socketpair fd on 0 and 1,
sshd's child gets ends of two different pipes on 0 and 1.

For some reason I have only v2 of this in my INBOX. Should I start

Thanks for this. I would have some comments on the details, but first
I want to properly understand your use case. So while I'm the author
and maintainer of this save helper, I won't review this in detail just
yet. I'm following the thread about what this is for...
Thanks,

We need to send secondary's dirty page pfn back to primary. Primary will
then send pages that are both dirtied on primary/secondary to secondary.
in this way the secondary's memory will be consistent with primary.
As we disscussed in [PATCH v2 COLOPre 04/13] tools/libxc: export xc_bitops.h
If we move this operation to libxc layer, this patch could be dropped.

Well, I think the new names are better, I also think it is safe to just rename
them, I don't find any other users using these error codes except Remus/COLO,
it is only used by Remus/COLO internally.

The main point is, this is external visible interface. Some user might
have also developed their solution based on remus. In their code they
check for REMUS_$FOO error code.
I agree renaming to CHECKPOINT even for the sake of matching API names
is good. I think Ian's suggestion should be the simplest way of moving
forward.
