[Qemu-devel] [PATCH COLO-Frame v11 00/39] COarse-grain LOck-stepping(COLO) Virtual Machines for Non-stop Service (FT)

[zhanghailiang]

This is the 11th version of COLO.

As usual, this version of COLO is only support periodic checkpoint,
just like MicroCheckpointing and Remus does.

The 'peroidic' mode is based on netfilter which has been merged.
It uses the 'filter-buffer' to buffer and release packets.
We add each netdev a default buffer filter and the name is 'nop'.
The 'nop' buffer filter will not buffer any packets in default.
So it has no side effect on netdev.

As usual, here is only COLO frame part, you can get the whole codes from github:
https://github.com/coloft/qemu/commits/colo-v2.2-periodic-mode

Test procedure:
1. Startup qemu
Primary side:
#x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot c -m 2048 -smp 8 -qmp 
stdio -vnc :7 -name primary -cpu qemu64,+kvmclock -device piix3-usb-uhci 
-device usb-tablet -netdev tap,id=hn0 -device 
virtio-net-pci,id=net-pci0,netdev=hn0 -drive 
if=virtio,id=colo-disk0,driver=quorum,read-pattern=fifo,vote-threshold=1,children.0.file.filename=/mnt/sdd/pure_IMG/linux/redhat/rhel_6.5_64_2U_ide,children.0.driver=raw

Secondary side:
#x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot c -m 2048 -smp 8 -qmp 
stdio -vnc :7 -name secondary -cpu qemu64,+kvmclock -device piix3-usb-uhci 
-device usb-tablet -netdev tap,id=hn0 -device 
virtio-net-pci,id=net-pci0,netdev=hn0 -drive 
if=none,id=colo-disk0,file.filename=/dev/null,driver=raw -drive 
if=virtio,id=active-disk0,throttling.bps-total=70000000,driver=replication,mode=secondary,file.driver=qcow2,file.file.filename=/mnt/ramfs/active_disk.img,file.backing.allow-write-backing-file=on,file.backing.driver=qcow2,file.backing.file.filename=/mnt/ramfs/hidden_disk.img,file.backing.backing.allow-write-backing-file=on,file.backing.backing.file.filename=/mnt/sdd/pure_IMG/linux/redhat/rhel_6.5_64_2U_ide,file.backing.backing.driver=raw,file.backing.backing.node-name=node0
 -incoming tcp:0:8888

2. On Secondary VM's QEMU monitor, issue command
(Note: Hmp command is unstable, so here we recommand using qmp command)
{'execute':'qmp_capabilities'}
{'execute': 'blockdev-remove-medium', 'arguments': {'device': 'colo-disk0'} }
{'execute': 'blockdev-insert-medium', 'arguments': {'device': 'colo-disk0', 
'node-name': 'node0'} }
{'execute': 'nbd-server-start', 'arguments': {'addr': {'type': 'inet', 'data': 
{'host': '192.168.2.88', 'port': '8889'} } } }
{'execute': 'nbd-server-add', 'arguments': {'device': 'colo-disk0', 'writable': 
true } }
{'execute': 'trace-event-set-state', 'arguments': {'name': 'colo*', 'enable': 
true} }

3. On Primary VM's QEMU monitor, issue command:
{'execute':'qmp_capabilities'}
{'execute': 'human-monitor-command', 'arguments': {'command-line': 'drive_add 
buddy 
driver=replication,mode=primary,file.driver=nbd,file.host=9.61.1.7,file.port=8889,file.export=colo-disk0,node-name=node0,if=none'}}
{'execute':'x-blockdev-change', 'arguments':{'parent': 'colo-disk0', 'node': 
'node0' } }
{'execute': 'migrate-set-capabilities', 'arguments': {'capabilities': [ 
{'capability': 'x-colo', 'state': true } ] } }
{'execute': 'migrate', 'arguments': {'uri': 'tcp:192.168.2.88:8888' } }

4. After the above steps, you will see, whenever you make changes to PVM, SVM 
will be synced.
You can by issue command '{ "execute": "migrate-set-parameters" , "arguments":{ 
"checkpoint-delay": 2000 } }'
to change the checkpoint period time.

5. Failover test
You can kill Primary VM and run 'x_colo_lost_heartbeat' in Secondary VM's
monitor at the same time, then SVM will failover and client will not feel this 
change.
The qmp command is '{ "execute": "x-colo-lost-heartbeat" }'.

COLO is a totally new feature which is still in early stage,
your comments and feedback are warmly welcomed.

TODO:
1. implement packets compare module (proxy) in qemu
2. checkpoint based on proxy in qemu
3. The capability of continuous FT

v11:
 - Re-implement buffer/release packets based on filter-buffer according
   to Jason Wang's suggestion. (patch 34, patch 36 ~ patch 38)
 - Rebase master to re-use some stuff introduced by post-copy.
 - Address several comments from Eric and Dave, the fixing record can
   be found in each patch.

v10:
 - Rename 'colo_lost_heartbeat' command to experimental 'x_colo_lost_heartbeat'
 - Rename migration capability 'colo' to 'x-colo' (Eric's suggestion)
 - Simplify the process of primary side by dropping colo thread and reusing
   migration thread. (Dave's suggestion)
 - Add several netfilter related APIs to support buffer/release packets
   for COLO (patch 32 ~ patch 36)
