[Qemu-devel] [PATCH COLO-Frame v16 for-2.7 00/35] COarse-grain LOck-stepping(COLO) Virtual Machines for Non-stop Service (FT)

[zhanghailiang]

This is the 16th version of COLO (Still only support periodic checkpoint).

Here is only COLO frame part, you can get the whole codes from github:
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v2.7-periodic-mode

There are little changes for this series except the netfilter releated part.

Patch status:
Unreviewed: patch 21, 32 ~ 35
Updated: patch 7, 13, 32 ~ 35

Cc: Jason Wang <address@hidden>

TODO:
1. Checkpoint based on proxy in qemu
2. The capability of continuous FT
3. Optimize the VM's downtime during checkpoint

v16:
 - Fix compile broken due to missing osdep.h
 - Add reviewed-by tag for patch 27, 28, 29
 - Rename the COLO message send/receive helper function (patch 7, 13)
 - Simplify the codes by using some notifier helpers in QEMU (patch 32)
 - Remove the useless check in colo_add_buffer_filter() (patch 33)
 - Remove the previous patch 36, 37 which export filter_buffer_flush()
   to release the buffered packets for COLO, we simplify it by stopping
   buffer filter while doing checkpoint, which will flush the buffered
   packets by default. (patch 34)
v15:
 - Go on the shutdown process if encounter error while sending shutdown
   message to SVM. (patch 24)
 - Rename qemu_need_skip_netfilter to qemu_netfilter_can_skip and Remove
   some useless comment. (patch 31, Jason)
 - Call object_new_with_props() directly to add filter in
   colo_add_buffer_filter. (patch 34, Jason)
 - Re-implement colo_set_filter_status() based on COLOBufferFilters
   list. (patch 35)
 - Re-implement colo_flush_filter_packets() based on COLOBufferFilters
   list. (patch 37) 
v14:
 - Re-implement the network processing based on netfilter (Jason Wang)
 - Rename 'COLOCommand' to 'COLOMessage'. (Markus's suggestion)
 - Split two new patches (patch 27/28) from patch 29
 - Fix some other comments from Dave and Markus.

v13:
 - Refactor colo_*_cmd helper functions to use 'Error **errp' parameter
  instead of return value to indicate success or failure. (patch 10)
 - Remove the optional error message for COLO_EXIT event. (patch 25)
 - Use semaphore to notify colo/colo incoming loop that failover work is
   finished. (patch 26)
 - Move COLO shutdown related codes to colo.c file. (patch 28)
 - Fix memory leak bug for colo incoming loop. (new patch 31)
 - Re-use some existed helper functions to realize the process of
   saving/loading ram and device. (patch 32)
 - Fix some other comments from Dave and Markus.
