Subject: [PATCH v6 07/10] vfio: Extend the device migration protocol with PRE_COPY

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@...dia.com>

The optional PRE_COPY states open the saving data transfer FD before
reaching STOP_COPY and allows the device to dirty track internal state
changes with the general idea to reduce the volume of data transferred
in the STOP_COPY stage.

While in PRE_COPY the device remains RUNNING, but the saving FD is open.

Only if the device also supports RUNNING_P2P can it support PRE_COPY_P2P,
which halts P2P transfers while continuing the saving FD.

PRE_COPY, with P2P support, requires the driver to implement 7 new arcs
and exists as an optional FSM branch between RUNNING and STOP_COPY:
    RUNNING -> PRE_COPY -> PRE_COPY_P2P -> STOP_COPY

A new ioctl VFIO_DEVICE_MIG_PRECOPY is provided to allow userspace to
query the progress of the precopy operation in the driver with the idea it
will judge to move to STOP_COPY at least once the initial data set is
transferred, and possibly after the dirty size has shrunk appropriately.

We think there may also be merit in future extensions to the
VFIO_DEVICE_MIG_PRECOPY ioctl to also command the device to throttle the
rate it generates internal dirty state.

Compared to the v1 clarification, STOP_COPY -> PRE_COPY is made optional
and to be defined in future. While making the whole PRE_COPY feature
optional eliminates the concern from mlx5, this is still a complicated arc
to implement and seems prudent to leave it closed until a proper use case
is developed. We also split the pending_bytes report into the initial and
sustaining values, and define the protocol to get an event via poll() for
new dirty data during PRE_COPY.
