This is the 5th version of COLO, here is only COLO frame part, include: VM

The block part has been sent by wencongyang:
"[Qemu-devel] [PATCH COLO-Block v5 00/15] Block replication for continuous 
checkpoints"

we have finished some new features and optimization on COLO (As a development 
branch in github),
but for easy of review, it is better to keep it simple now, so we will not add 
too much new
codes into this frame patch set before it been totally reviewed.

You can get the latest integrated qemu colo patches from github (Include Block 
part):
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v1.2-basic
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v1.2-developing (more features)

Please NOTE the difference between these two branch.
colo-v1.2-basic is exactly same with this patch series, which has basic 
features of COLO.
Compared with colo-v1.2-basic, colo-v1.2-developing has some optimization in the
process of checkpoint, including:
    1) separate ram and device save/load process to reduce size of extra memory
       used during checkpoint
    2) live migrate part of dirty pages to slave during sleep time.
Besides, we add some statistic info in colo-v1.2-developing, which you can get 
these stat
info by using command 'info migrate'.

You can test any branch of the above,
about how to test COLO, Please reference to the follow link.
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/COLO.

Thanks, I'll try these out over the next few days.
It would be good to use some tags on the colo-proxy git;
it would be a bit confusing for people trying to use your previous
qemu patches if they fetched todays colo-proxy tree.


Hi Dave,

I have put tags on the colo-proxy in github, thanks for your suggestion.
And one more thing, to test this new version, you have to rebuild your kernel 
and iptables,
since there are some modification :)

Thanks,
zhanghailiang



COLO is still in early stage,
your comments and feedback are warmly welcomed.

Cc: address@hidden

TODO:
1. Strengthen failover
2. COLO function switch on/off
2. Optimize proxy part, include proxy script.
   1) Remove the limitation of forward network link.
   2) Reuse the nfqueue_entry and NF_STOLEN to enqueue skb
3. The capability of continuous FT

v5:
- Replace the previous communication way between proxy and qemu with nfnetlink
- Remove the 'forward device'parameter of xt_PMYCOLO, and now we use iptables 
command
to set the 'forward device'
- Turn DPRINTF into trace_ calls as Dave's suggestion

v4:
- New block replication scheme (use image-fleecing for sencondary side)
- Adress some comments from Eric Blake and Dave
- Add commmand colo-set-checkpoint-period to set the time of periodic checkpoint
- Add a delay (100ms) between continuous checkpoint requests to ensure VM
   run 100ms at least since last pause.
v3:
- use proxy instead of colo agent to compare network packets
- add block replication
- Optimize failover disposal
- handle shutdown

v2:
- use QEMUSizedBuffer/QEMUFile as COLO buffer
- colo support is enabled by default
- add nic replication support
- addressed comments from Eric Blake and Dr. David Alan Gilbert

v1:
- implement the frame of colo

Wen Congyang (1):
   COLO: Add block replication into colo process

zhanghailiang (28):
   configure: Add parameter for configure to enable/disable COLO support
