+Use multiple thread (de)compression in live migration

+Introduction
+============
+Instead of sending the guest memory directly, this solution will
+compress the ram page before sending; after receiving, the data will
+be decompressed. Using compression in live migration can help
+to reduce the data transferred about 60%, this is very useful when the
+bandwidth is limited, and the migration time can also be reduced about
+70% in a typical case.
+
+The process of compression will consume additional CPU cycles, and the
+extra CPU cycles will increase the migration time. On the other hand,
+the amount of data transferred will reduced, this factor can reduce
+the migration time. If the process of the compression is quick
+enough, then the total migration time can be reduced, and multiple
+thread compression can be used to accelerate the compression process.
+
+The decompression speed of zlib is at least 4 times as quick as
+compression, if the source and destination CPU have equal speed,
+keeping the compression thread count 4 times the decompression
+thread count can avoid CPU waste.
+
+Compression level can be used to control the compression speed and the
+compression ratio. High compression ratio will take more time, level 0
+stands for no compression, level 1 stands for the best compression
+speed, and level 9 stands for the best compression ratio. Users can
+select a level number between 0 and 9.
+
+
+When to use the multiple thread compression in live migration
+==============================================================
+Compression of data will consume extra CPU cycles; so in a system with
+high overhead of CPU, avoid using this feature. When the network
+bandwidth is very limited and the CPU resource is adequate, use of
+multiple thread compression will be very helpful. If both the CPU and
+the network bandwidth are adequate, use of multiple thread compression
+can still help to reduce the migration time.
+

+
+Usage
+=====
+1. Verify both the source and destination QEMU are able
+to support the multiple thread compression migration:
+    {qemu} info_migrate_capablilites
+    {qemu} ... compress: off ...
+
+2. Activate compression on the souce:
+    {qemu} migrate_set_capability compress on
+
+3. Set the compression thread count on source:
+    {qemu} migrate_set_paramter compress_threads 12
+
+4. Set the compression level on the source:
+    {qemu} migrate_set_parameter compress_level 1
+
+5. Set the decompression thread count on destination:
+    {qemu} migrate_set_parameter decompress_threads 3
+
+6. Start outgoing migration:
+    {qemu} migrate -d tcp:destination.host:4444
+    {qemu} info migrate
+    Capabilities: ... compress: on
+    ...
+
+The following is the default setting:
+    compress: off
+    compress_threads: 8
+    decompress_threads: 2
+    compress_level: 1 (which means best speed)
+
+So, only the first two steps are required to use the multiple
+thread compression in migration. You can do more if the default
+setting is not appropriate.
+
+TODO
+====
+Some faster (de)compression method such as lz4 and quicklz can help
+to reduce the CPU consumption when doing (de)compression. Less
+(de)compression threads are needed when doing the migration.

Of course, that's all dependent on memory having compressible contents.
 An application that reads /dev/hwrng into a large amount of memory will
not be that compressible :)

Just a few minor comments fix below.

The struct types should be CompressParam rather than compress_param (like QemuThread - see the CODING_STYLE).

Initially I was worried if these needed atomics or barriers
for the 'quit_thread' - but later you add mutexs/cond that
I think should be enough.

I think g_new0 is better for that.

OK, these get replaced later anyway by the parameter stuff.

Theoretically unsafe (well, unsafe if thread_count were unbounded,
although it looks like you artificially cap it at 255 later in the
series); better would be:

s->compress_thread = g_new0(QemuThread, thread_count)

because that catches potential multiplication overflow.

> +    comp_param = g_malloc0(sizeof(compress_param) * thread_count);

Likewise.

Spacing is off on the second '*'.

> +        ram_addr_t offset, bool last_stage)

Indentation is off.

I think you need to check 'len' is sensible, if your stream goes wrong it
could end up being a negative or silly value.

The style rules need all of the declarations to be kept together;
so the 'migrate_decompress_threads_create' can't go in between.

Ouch - you stack-allocated more than a page of data.  This is in general
bad practice (and you should use the heap for any function that requires
more than 4k of data) because there are some architectures (cough:
windows) where exceeding the stack by more than a page risks silent
termination of the application rather than a graceful SIGSEGV (if you
can even call a stack overflow SIGSEGV graceful).  Especially true when
using helper threads, which typically have smaller stacks than the main
application.

[Qemu-devel] [v3 04/13] qemu-file: Add tow function will be used in migration

[Liang Li]

migrate_qemu_add_compression_data() compress the data
and put it to QEMUFile. migrate_qemu_flush() put the
data in the source QEMUFile to destination QEMUFile.

The two function can help to do live migration.

Typo in the title 'tow->two' - but perhaps a better title

It's an odd name, QEMUFile is only used by migration anyway;
maybe qemufile_add_compression_data ?

What are the 'sizeof(int)'s for?  It's unusual because we normally keep the
format of the stream the same even if one side was a 32bit qemu and the other 64bit.
How do you know that there is enough space for the compress - i.e. what
happens if f->buf_index is too high?

Can you explain a bit more here how you're using the src file; I think
you're using it as kind of a dummy buffer; but it needs to be documented
somewhere.  Again I'm also not sure of the name of this function.

The compress2 will return failed if that happened. The spare space should be
checked before calling compress2, I will make a change.

Yes, it is for dummy buffer use, and I am not satisfied with the function name
too.

Do you really need any more than a 'bool busy' ?

Those need better names and a comment; If I'm reading it
correctly, this cond is used to wake up the parent thread
when one of the workers has finished it's task?

Again this needs to go with the explanation of what you're using
the special QEMUFile for; but I don't think anything outside of
QEMUFile should be allocating a QEMUFileOps (It could be static anyway
rather than malloc'd).  I think you could make empty_ops declared
static in qemu-file.c

Yes, it is.
 

[Qemu-devel] [v3 06/13] arch_init: Add data struct used by decompression

[Liang Li]

Define the data structure and varibles used when doing multiple
thread decompression, and add the code to initialize and free them.

The title would probably be better as 'Split ram_save_page()' - you
don't actually rewrite the code that much.
Note the important comment below.

I think this breaks XBZRLE; the 'p' pointer is updated by save_xbzrle_page when it
copies the page into the cache; when that happens ram_save_page must use that cache copy
rather than the page in main memory; you're recalculating p.
See the commit 1534ee93 'XBZRLE: Fix one XBZRLE corruption issues'

Yes, it is. 

[Qemu-devel] [v3 09/13] migration: Make compression co-work with xbzrle

[Liang Li]

Now, multiple thread compression can co-work with xbzrle. when
xbzrle is on, multiple thread compression will only work at the
first round of ram data sync.

Typo: 'muti-thead' -> 'multi-thread'

That's kind of a scary comment!  It looks like 'uncompress' is supposed
to be safe, so shouldn't damage any other data; it's worrying me
might not find real problems though.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [v3 12/13] migration: Add command to set migration parameter

If I understand correctly on the destination side we need to set the number of
decompression threads very early on an incoming migration - I'm not
clear how early that needs to be - especially if you're using fd: so it's
not waiting for a connect ?

Eric: How would libvirt do that?

Do you need the same check here that is in qmp_migrate_set_capabilities;
to stop someone changing a parameter (e.g. the number of threads) while
it's running.

Libvirt does some handshaking before starting migration.  The source
would advertise that "I'm capable of threaded migration; and plan to use
X send and Y receive threads"; the destination would either reply that
threads are unsupported or set the receive thread count at that point,
then the source would know if it can enable threads and set the send
thread count, before letting migration start.  I don't see any problems
with the current design of starting things up.

Patch 3 calls migrate_decompress_threads_create from process_incoming_migration_co,
if you're using fd based incoming migration then I think that gets called
before libvirt would have a chance to connect to the monitor and
call the parameter setting to say how many threads it wants.
(A tcp incoming migration wouldn't have that problem because it
waits until the TCP accept before calling process_incoming_migration_co)

Then it probably needs to be exposed through a command-line parameter,
so that -incoming gains the ability to specify parameters as part of
starting up qemu.

The decompression threads can be set after QEMU started (with -incomming
options) and before the TCP accept.

But that doesn't work for an fd: incoming migration.

Doesn't allow for non-integer parameters.  Not necessarily fatal for
input only (I think a flat union could be utilized with a
MigrationParameter as the discriminator to allow non-int values later on)...

...but on output, we might confuse callers by outputting non-int values
unless we plan _from the start_ to support them.  That is, I think we want:

{ 'type': 'MigrationParameterBase',
  'data': { 'parameter': 'MigrationParameter' } }

to make it obvious to callers that they must be prepared to accept
non-int values down the road if we ever extend the union to add another
parameter with a different type.

s/leve/level/

Missing two of the three defined parameters.

I hate write-only interfaces.  I'm hoping you add the query of
parameters in a later patch - but I'd prefer you squash it into one patch.

Eric: I'm OK with this,  but since it's interface stuff, I thought
it best to let you check.

Why are you casting to 'int'? I'm worried that this will fail if you
ever have a 64-bit parameter, or if we ever have a non-integral parameter.

Unusual spacing.  Line is longer than 80 columns.

Is it worth giving the example with all three defined parameters, rather
than truncating it to just one?

Again, see my comments on 12/13 about possibly squashing these together,
and/or using a union to make it obvious that we might support
non-integral parameters in the future.

Hi,
  Apologies for taking so long; generally this is a lot nicer.
I'll reply to each patch individually, but two more general questions:
   a) Shouldn't compressBound be used somewhere to get the worst case compressed size?
   b) I think adding some trace points would be useful; it would make it easier to
      spot when you were waiting for threads etc.

Thanks Dave & Eric for spending time to review my patches and giving the
valuable comments, I will refine my patches in the later version according 
to your suggestions.

Yes, compressBound is better to deal with the worst case, I will make a change.
