[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 12/18] tools/libx{l, c}: add back channel to libxc
In COLO mode, both VMs are running, and are considered in sync if the
visible network traffic is identical. After some time, they fall out of
sync.
At this point, the two VMs have definitely diverged. Lets call the
primary dirty bitmap set A, while the secondary dirty bitmap set B.
Sets A and B are different.
Under normal migration, the page data for set A will be sent from the
primary to the secondary.
However, the set difference B - A (the one in B but not in A, lets
call this C) is out-of-date on the secondary (with respect to the
primary) and will not be sent by the primary (to secondary), as it
was not memory dirtied by the primary. The secondary needs C page data
to reconstruct an exact copy of the primary at the checkpoint.
The secondary cannot calculate C as it doesn't know A. Instead, the
secondary must send B to the primary, at which point the primary
calculates the union of A and B (lets call this D) which is all the
pages dirtied by both the primary and the secondary, and sends all page
data covered by D.
In the general case, D is a superset of both A and B. Without the
backchannel dirty bitmap, a COLO checkpoint can't reconstruct a valid
copy of the primary.
We transfer the dirty bitmap on libxc side, so we need to introduce back
channel to libxc.
Note: it is different from the paper. We change the original design to
the current one, according to our following concerns:
1. The original design needs extra memory on Secondary host. When there's
multiple backups on one host, the memory cost is high.
2. The memory cache code will be another 1k+, it will make the review
more time consuming.
Note: the back channel will be used in the patch
libxc/restore: send dirty pfn list to primary when checkpoint under COLO
to send dirty pfn list from secondary to primary. The patch is posted in
another series.
