Subject: [RFC Patch 00/12] IXGBE: Add live migration support for SRIOV NIC
This patchset is to propose a new solution to add live migration support for 82599
SRIOV network card.
Im our solution, we prefer to put all device specific operation into VF and
PF driver and make code in the Qemu more general.
VF status migration
=================================================================
VF status can be divided into 4 parts
1) PCI configure regs
2) MSIX configure
3) VF status in the PF driver
4) VF MMIO regs
The first three status are all handled by Qemu.
The PCI configure space regs and MSIX configure are originally
stored in Qemu. To save and restore "VF status in the PF driver"
by Qemu during migration, adds new sysfs node "state_in_pf" under
VF sysfs directory.
For VF MMIO regs, we introduce self emulation layer in the VF
driver to record MMIO reg values during reading or writing MMIO
and put these data in the guest memory. It will be migrated with
guest memory to new machine.
VF function restoration
================================================================
Restoring VF function operation are done in the VF and PF driver.
In order to let VF driver to know migration status, Qemu fakes VF
PCI configure regs to indicate migration status and add new sysfs
node "notify_vf" to trigger VF mailbox irq in order to notify VF
about migration status change.
Transmit/Receive descriptor head regs are read-only and can't
be restored via writing back recording reg value directly and they
are set to 0 during VF reset. To reuse original tx/rx rings, shift
desc ring in order to move the desc pointed by original head reg to
first entry of the ring and then enable tx/rx rings. VF restarts to
receive and transmit from original head desc.
Tracking DMA accessed memory
=================================================================
Migration relies on tracking dirty page to migrate memory.
Hardware can't automatically mark a page as dirty after DMA
memory access. VF descriptor rings and data buffers are modified
by hardware when receive and transmit data. To track such dirty memory
manually, do dummy writes(read a byte and write it back) when receive
and transmit data.
Service down time test
=================================================================
So far, we tested migration between two laptops with 82599 nic which
are connected to a gigabit switch. Ping VF in the 0.001s interval
during migration on the host of source side. It service down
time is about 180ms.

Todo
=======================================================
So far, the patchset isn't perfect. VF net interface can't be open, closed, down
and up during migration. Will prevent such operation during migration in the
future job.
Very appreciate for your comments.
