[Qemu-block] [PATCH 00/18] Dirty bitmaps postcopy migration

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

v2:
some bugs fixed, iotests a bit changed and merged into one test.
based on block-next (https://github.com/XanClic/qemu/commits/block-next)
clone: tag postcopy-v2 from https://src.openvz.org/scm/~vsementsov/qemu.git

v1:

These series are derived from my 'Dirty bitmaps migration' series. The
core idea is switch to postcopy migration and drop usage of meta
bitmaps.

These patches provide dirty bitmap postcopy migration feature. Only
named dirty bitmaps are to be migrated. Migration may be enabled using
migration capabilities.

The overall method (thanks to John Snow):

1. migrate bitmaps meta data in .save_live_setup
   - create/find related bitmaps on target
   - disable them
   - create successors (anonimous children) only for enabled migrated
     bitmaps
2. do nothing in precopy stage
3. just before target vm start: enable successors, created in (1)
4. migrate bitmap data
5. reclaime bitmaps (merge successors to their parents)
6. enable bitmaps (only bitmaps, which was enabled in source)


Some patches are unchnaged from (v7) of 'Dirty bitmaps migration'
(DBMv7). I've left Reviewed-by's for them, if you don't like it, say me
and I'll drop them in the following version.

So, relatively to last DBMv7: 

01-04: new patches, splitting common postcopy migration out of ram
       postcopy migration
   05: equal to DBMv7.05
   06: new
   07: equal to DBMv7.06
   08: new
   09: equal to DBMv7.07
   10: new
   11: derived from DBMv7.08, see below
12-15: equal to DBMv7.09-12
   16: derived from DBMv7.13
       - switch from fifo to socket, as postcopy don't work with fifo
         for now
       - change parameters: size, granularity, regions
       - add time.sleep, to wait for postcopy migration phase (bad
         temporary solution.
       - drop Reviewed-by
   17: new

   11: the core patch of the series, it is derived from
       [DBMv7.08: migration: add migration_block-dirty-bitmap.c]
       There are a lot of changes related to switching from precopy to
       postcopy, but functions related to migration stream itself
       (structs, send/load sequences) are mostly unchnaged.

       So, changes, to switch from precopy to postcopy:
       - removed all staff related to meta bitmaps and dirty phase!!!
       - add dirty_bitmap_mig_enable_successors, and call it before
         target vm start in loadvm_postcopy_handle_run
       - add enabled_bitmaps list of bitmaps for
         dirty_bitmap_mig_enable_successors

       - enabled flag is send with start bitmap chunk instead of
         completion chunk
       - sectors_per_chunk is calculated directly from CHUNK_SIZE, not
         using meta bitmap granularity

       - dirty_bitmap_save_iterate: remove dirty_phase, move bulk_phase
         to postcopy stage
       - dirty_bitmap_save_pending: remove dirty phase related pending,
         switch pending to non-postcopyable
       - dirty_bitmap_load_start: get enabled flag and prepare
         successors for enabled bitmaps, also add them to
         enabled_bitmaps list
       - dirty_bitmap_load_complete: for enabled bitmaps: merge them
         with successors and enable

       - savevm handlers:
         * remove separate savevm_dirty_bitmap_live_iterate_handlers state
           (it was bad idea, any way), and move its save_live_iterate to
           savevm_dirty_bitmap_handlers
         * add is_active_iterate savevm handler, which allows iterations
           only in postcopy stage (after stopping source vm)
         * add has_postcopy savevm handler. (ofcourse, just returning true)
         * use save_live_complete_postcopy instead of
           save_live_complete_precopy

       Other changes:
       - some debug output changed
       - remove MIN_LIVE_SIZE, is_live_iterative and related staff (it
         was needed to omit iterations if bitmap data is small, possibly
         this should be reimplemented)
