[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/34] migration thread and queue

[Juan Quintela]

Hi

This is my queue for migration-thread and patches associated.  This
integrates review comments & code for Paolo.  This is the subset from
both approachs that we agreed with. rest of patches need more review
and are not here.

Migrating and idle guest with upstwream:

(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off
Migration status: completed
total time: 34251 milliseconds
downtime: 492 milliseconds
transferred ram: 762458 kbytes
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 14688768 kbytes
duplicate: 3492606 pages
normal: 189762 pages
normal bytes: 759048 kbytes

with this series of patches.

(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off
Migration status: completed
total time: 30712 milliseconds
downtime: 29 milliseconds
transferred ram: 738857 kbytes
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 14688768 kbytes
duplicate: 3503423 pages
normal: 176671 pages
normal bytes: 706684 kbytes

Notice the big difference in downtime.  And that is also seen inside
the guest a program that just do an idle loop seeing how "long" it
takes to wait for 10ms.

with upstream:

address@hidden ~]# ./timer
delay of 452 ms
delay of 114 ms
delay of 136 ms
delay of 135 ms
delay of 136 ms
delay of 131 ms
delay of 134 ms

with this series of patches, wait never takes 100ms, nothing is printed.

Please review.

Thanks, Juan.
