Add two sets (source or target) of three functions each for passt in
vhost-user mode, triggered by activity on the file descriptor passed
via VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_DEVICE_STATE:
- migrate_source_pre() and migrate_target_pre() are called to prepare
for migration, before data is transferred
- migrate_source() sends, and migrate_target() receives migration data
- migrate_source_post() and migrate_target_post() are responsible for
any post-migration task
Callbacks are added to these functions with arrays of function
pointers in migrate.c. Migration handlers are versioned.
Versioned descriptions of data sections will be added to the
data_versions array, which points to versioned iovec arrays. Version
1 is currently empty and will be filled in in subsequent patches.
The source announces the data version to be used and informs the peer
about endianness, and the size of void *, time_t, flow entries and
flow hash table entries.
The target checks if the version of the source is still supported. If
it's not, it aborts the migration.
From David: vu_migrate() moves to migrate.c now.
On top of this, from David:
--
migrate: Handle sending header section from data sections
Currently the global state header is included in the list of data sections
to send for migration. This makes for an asymmetry between the source and
target sides: for the source, the header is sent after the 'pre' handlers
along with all the rest of the data. For the target side, the header must
be read first (before the 'pre' handlers), so that we know the version
which determines what all the rest of the data will be.
Change this so that the header is handled explicitly on both the source and
target side. This will make some future changes simpler as well.
--
migrate: Make migration handlers simpler and more flexible
Currently the structure of the migration callbacks is quite rigid. There
are separate tables for pre and post handlers, for source and target.
Those only prepare or fix up with no reading or writing of the stream.
The actual reading and writing is done with an iovec of buffers to
transfer. That can't handle any variably sized structures, nor sending
state which is only obtained during migration rather than being tracked
usually.
Replace both the handlers and the sections with an ordered list of
migration "stages". Each stage has a callback for both source and target
side doing whatever is necessary - these can be NULL, for example for
preparation steps that have no equivalent on the other side. Things that
are just buffers to be transferred are handled with a macro generating a
suitable stage entry.
