[libvirt] [PATCH 1/1] Support a new peer-to-peer migration mode

Paolo Bonzini pbonzini at redhat.com
Thu Oct 1 21:43:17 UTC 2009


This patch introduces a peer-to-peer migration protocol where the client
only invokes the virDomainMigratePerform method, expecting the source
host driver to do whatever is required to complete the entire migration
process.

This method is used by virsh whenever the hypervisor supports it and the
destination URI is not given.

In addition, this patch makes the dconn parameter to virDomainMigrate
optional.  In this case, libvirt will try to use peer-to-peer migration
or, alternatively, will fall back to opening a temporary connection.

* src/driver.h: Remove feature flags.
* src/libvirt_internal.h: Add feature flags, and include
new VIR_DRV_FEATURE_MIGRATION_P2P indicating support for the
new migration protocol.  Add VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER private
flag passed to virMigratePerform.
* src/libvirt.c: Implement support for peer-to-peer migration.
* src/virsh.c: Let libvirt create the dconn where possible.
* src/xen/xen_driver.c: Advertise support for P2P migration
* src/xen/xend_internal.c: Accept VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER.

	> Is there a reason why you shouldn't try a VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER
	> if dconn is NULL, rather than having a separate flag?

	Well it wasn't that simple, anyway this is what I meant.

        I splitted out the non-fleshed-out tunnelled migration parts to
        ease committing.  However I've not tested this beyond compiling yet.
