[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 11/29] memory: include DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION in the dirty log mask

[Paolo Bonzini]

The separate handling of DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION, which does not
call log_start/log_stop callbacks when it changes in a region's
dirty logging mask, has caused several bugs.

One recent example is commit 4cc856f (kvm-all: Sync dirty-bitmap from
kvm before kvm destroy the corresponding dirty_bitmap, 2015-04-02).
Another performance problem is that KVM keeps tracking dirty pages
after a failed live migration, which causes bad performance due to
disallowing huge page mapping.

This patch removes the root cause of the problem by reporting
DIRTY_MEMORY_MIGRATION changes via log_start and log_stop.
Note that we now have to rebuild the FlatView when global dirty
logging is enabled or disabled; this ensures that log_start and
log_stop callbacks are invoked.

This will also be used to make the setting of bitmaps conditional.
In general, this patch lets users of the memory API ignore the
global state of dirty logging if they handle dirty logging
generically per region.
