We should save PVM's RAM/device to slave when needed.

For VM state, we  will cache them in slave, we use QEMUSizedBuffer
to store the data, we need know the data size of VM state, so in master,
we use qsb to store VM state temporarily, and then migrate the data to
slave.

This is a bit odd.   It would be easier if you just moved the init code
inside this if, rather than goto'ing over it (or move the other code that
you actually want into another function that then gets called from the bottom
of here?)
The thing that also makes it especially odd is that you goto over
the rcu_read_lock and then have to fix it up; that's getting messy.


Yes, here we reuse ram_save_setup in COLO's checkpoint process, the difference 
is
in COLO's checkpoint process, we don't have to initialize these global 
variables again,
which has been initialized in the previous first migration process. But we have 
to resend
the info of ram_list.blocks. (Maybe this also not necessary ). I will split 
this function temporarily
to make this look gentler.

Great.

(The qemu style seems to be OK to use goto to jump to a shared error
block at the end of a function but otherwise it should be rare).

Surely you want that as 4*1024*1024 ?  Anyway, now that qemu has
migrate_set_parameter, it's probably best to wire these magic numbers
to parameters that can be configured.


Er, actually this macro can be any value, it does not matter, because qsb will 
grow automatically
if the size of qsb is not enough. (Am i right?).
And i don't think this internal used value should be exported to user. For now 
this size include
the size of dirty pages and the size of device related data.

Yes, you're right; (However I'd still use a power of 2 for a size for memory, 
but maybe
that's just me)


Er, I searched this in qemu codes, your advise about 'power of 2 for size' is 
very reasonable. ;)
I will fix that, Thanks!

But, maybe i can use the new
'migrate_set_parameter' to achieve the capability of 
'colo_set_checkpoint_period'.

Yes, it's good for that.
