The new mapped-ram stream format uses a file transport and puts ram
pages in the migration file at their respective offsets and can be
done in parallel by using the pwritev system call which takes iovecs
and an offset.
Add support to enabling the new format along with multifd to make use
of the threading and page handling already in place.
This requires multifd to stop sending headers and leaving the stream
format to the mapped-ram code. When it comes time to write the data, we
need to call a version of qio_channel_write that can take an offset.
Usage on HMP is:
(qemu) stop
(qemu) migrate_set_capability multifd on
(qemu) migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter max-bandwidth 0
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter multifd-channels 8
(qemu) migrate file:migfile

Allow multifd to open file-backed channels. This will be used when
enabling the mapped-ram migration stream format which expects a
seekable transport.
The QIOChannel read and write methods will use the preadv/pwritev
versions which don't update the file offset at each call so we can
reuse the fd without re-opening for every channel.
Contrary to the socket migration, the file migration doesn't need an
asynchronous channel creation process, so expose
multifd_channel_connect() and call it directly.
Note that this is just setup code and multifd cannot yet make use of
the file channels.

Currently multifd does not need to have knowledge of pages on the
receiving side because all the information needed is within the
packets that come in the stream.
We're about to add support to mapped-ram migration, which cannot use
packets because it expects the ramblock section in the migration file
to contain only the guest pages data.
Add a data structure to transfer pages between the ram migration code
and the multifd receiving threads.
We don't want to reuse MultiFDPages_t for two reasons:
a) multifd threads don't really need to know about the data they're
receiving.
b) the receiving side has to be stopped to load the pages, which means
we can experiment with larger granularities than page size when
transferring data.

For the upcoming support to the new 'mapped-ram' migration stream
format, we cannot use multifd packets because each write into the
ramblock section in the migration file is expected to contain only the
guest pages. They are written at their respective offsets relative to
the ramblock section header.
There is no space for the packet information and the expected gains
from the new approach come partly from being able to write the pages
sequentially without extraneous data in between.
The new format also simply doesn't need the packets and all necessary
information can be taken from the standard migration headers with some
(future) changes to multifd code.
Use the presence of the mapped-ram capability to decide whether to
send packets.
This only moves code under multifd_use_packets(), it has no effect for
now as mapped-ram cannot yet be enabled with multifd.

That's the major reason we'll need to conditionally free the io channel in

To clean it up, using a separate structure to pass over both "p" and "tioc"

never be set until the channel is completely setup. With that, we can drop

It is possible that one of the multifd channels fails to be created at

This could lead to multifd_save_cleanup() executing the

which haven't been created yet, leading to the freeing of resources
that the newly created threads will try to access and crash.
Add a synchronization point after which there will be no attempts at
thread creation and therefore calling multifd_save_cleanup() past that
point will ensure it properly waits for the threads.
A note about performance: Prior to this patch, if a channel took too
long to be established, other channels could finish connecting first
and already start taking load. Now we're bounded by the
slowest-connecting channel.

During multifd channel creation (multifd_send_new_channel_async) when
TLS is enabled, the multifd_channel_connect function is called twice,
once to create the TLS handshake thread and another time after the
asynchrounous TLS handshake has finished.
This creates a slightly confusing call stack where
multifd_channel_connect() is called more times than the number of
channels. It also splits error handling between the two callers of
multifd_channel_connect() causing some code duplication. Lastly, it
gets in the way of having a single point to determine whether all
channel creation tasks have been initiated.
Refactor the code to move the reentrancy one level up at the
multifd_new_send_channel_async() level, de-duplicating the error
handling and allowing for the next patch to introduce a
synchronization point common to all the multifd channel creation,
regardless of TLS.
Note that the previous code would never fail once p->c had been set.
This patch changes this assumption, which affects refcounting, so add
comments around object_unref to explain the situation.

We currently only need p->running to avoid calling qemu_thread_join()
on a non existent thread if the thread has never been created.
However, there are at least two bugs in this logic:
1) On the sending side, p->running is set too early and
qemu_thread_create() can be skipped due to an error during TLS
handshake, leaving the flag set and leading to a crash when
multifd_send_cleanup() calls qemu_thread_join().
2) During exit, the multifd thread clears the flag while holding the
channel lock. The counterpart at multifd_send_cleanup() reads the flag
outside of the lock and might free the mutex while the multifd thread
still has it locked.
Fix the first issue by setting the flag right before creating the
thread. Rename it from p->running to p->thread_created to clarify its
usage.
Fix the second issue by not clearing the flag at the multifd thread
exit. We don't have any use for that.
Note that these bugs are straight-forward logic issues and not race
conditions. There is still a gap for races to affect this code due to
multifd_send_cleanup() being allowed to run concurrently with the
thread creation loop. This issue is solved in the next patches.

When reviewing my attempt to refactor send_prepare(), Fabiano suggested we
try out with dropping the mutex in multifd code [1].
I thought about that before but I never tried to change the code. Now
maybe it's time to give it a stab. This only optimizes the sender side.
The trick here is multifd has a clear provider/consumer model, that the
migration main thread publishes requests (either pending_job/pending_sync),
while the multifd sender threads are consumers. Here we don't have a lot
of complicated data sharing, and the jobs can logically be submitted
lockless.
Arm the code with atomic weapons. Two things worth mentioning:
- For multifd_send_pages(): we can use qatomic_load_acquire() when trying
to find a free channel, but that's expensive if we attach one ACQUIRE per
channel. Instead, keep the qatomic_read() on reading the pending_job
flag as we do already, meanwhile use one smp_mb_acquire() after the loop
to guarantee the memory ordering.
- For pending_sync: it doesn't have any extra data required since now
p->flags are never touched, it should be safe to not use memory barrier.
That's different from pending_job.
Provide rich comments for all the lockless operations to state how they are
paired. With that, we can remove the mutex.

As reported correctly by Fabiano [1] (while per Fabiano, it sourced back to
Elena's initial report in Oct 2023), MultiFDSendParams.packet_num is buggy
to be assigned and stored. Consider two consequent operations of: (1)
queue a job into multifd send thread X, then (2) queue another sync request
to the same send thread X. Then the MultiFDSendParams.packet_num will be
assigned twice, and the first assignment can get lost already.
To avoid that, we move the packet_num assignment from p->packet_num into
where the thread will fill in the packet. Use atomic operations to protect
the field, making sure there's no race.
Note that atomic fetch_add() may not be good for scaling purposes, however
multifd should be fine as number of threads should normally not go beyond
16 threads. Let's leave that concern for later but fix the issue first.
There's also a trick on how to make it always work even on 32 bit hosts for
uint64_t packet number. Switching to uintptr_t as of now to simply the
case. It will cause packet number to overflow easier on 32 bit, but that
shouldn't be a major concern for now as 32 bit systems is not the major
audience for any performance concerns like what multifd wants to address.
We also need to move multifd_send_state definition upper, so that
multifd_send_fill_packet() can reference it.

Multifd provide a threaded model for processing jobs. On sender side,
there can be two kinds of job: (1) a list of pages to send, or (2) a sync
request.
The sync request is a very special kind of job. It never contains a page
array, but only a multifd packet telling the dest side to synchronize with
sent pages.
Before this patch, both requests use the pending_job field, no matter what
the request is, it will boost pending_job, while multifd sender thread will
decrement it after it finishes one job.
However this should be racy, because SYNC is special in that it needs to
set p->flags with MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC, showing that this is a sync request.
Consider a sequence of operations where:
- migration thread enqueue a job to send some pages, pending_job++ (0->1)
- [...before the selected multifd sender thread wakes up...]
- migration thread enqueue another job to sync, pending_job++ (1->2),
setup p->flags=MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC
- multifd sender thread wakes up, found pending_job==2
- send the 1st packet with MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC and list of pages
- send the 2nd packet with flags==0 and no pages
This is not expected, because MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC should hopefully be done
after all the pages are received. Meanwhile, the 2nd packet will be
completely useless, which contains zero information.
I didn't verify above, but I think this issue is still benign in that at
least on the recv side we always receive pages before handling
MULTIFD_FLAG_SYNC. However that's not always guaranteed and just tricky.
One other reason I want to separate it is using p->flags to communicate
between the two threads is also not clearly defined, it's very hard to read
and understand why accessing p->flags is always safe; see the current impl
of multifd_send_thread() where we tried to cache only p->flags. It doesn't
need to be that complicated.
This patch introduces pending_sync, a separate flag just to show that the
requester needs a sync. Alongside, we remove the tricky caching of
p->flags now because after this patch p->flags should only be used by
multifd sender thread now, which will be crystal clear. So it is always
thread safe to access p->flags.
With that, we can also safely convert the pending_job into a boolean,
because we don't support >1 pending jobs anyway.

This array is redundant when p->pages exists. Now we extended the life of
p->pages to the whole period where pending_job is set, it should be safe to
always use p->pages->offset[] rather than p->normal[]. Drop the array.
Alongside, the normal_num is also redundant, which is the same to
p->pages->num.
This doesn't apply to recv side, because there's no extra buffering on recv
side, so p->normal[] array is still needed.

Now we reset MultiFDPages_t object in the multifd sender thread in the
middle of the sending job. That's not necessary, because the "*pages"
struct will not be reused anyway until pending_job is cleared.
Move that to the end after the job is completed, provide a helper to reset
a "*pages" object. Use that same helper when free the object too.
This prepares us to keep using p->pages in the follow up patches, where we
may drop p->normal[].

Multifd send side has two fields to indicate error quits:
- MultiFDSendParams.quit
- &multifd_send_state->exiting
Merge them into the global one. The replacement is done by changing all
p->quit checks into the global var check. The global check doesn't need
any lock.
A few more things done on top of this altogether:
- multifd_send_terminate_threads()
Moving the xchg() of &multifd_send_state->exiting upper, so as to cover
the tracepoint, migrate_set_error() and migrate_set_state().
- multifd_send_sync_main()
In the 2nd loop, add one more check over the global var to make sure we
don't keep the looping if QEMU already decided to quit.
- multifd_tls_outgoing_handshake()
Use multifd_send_terminate_threads() to set the error state. That has
a benefit of updating MigrationState.error to that error too, so we can
persist that 1st error we hit in that specific channel.
- multifd_new_send_channel_async()
Take similar approach like above, drop the migrate_set_error() because
multifd_send_terminate_threads() already covers that. Unwrap the helper
multifd_new_send_channel_cleanup() along the way; not really needed.

p->quit became obsolete as a way to stop the thread.
Since p->quit is set at multifd_send_terminate_threads() under the
p->mutex lock, the thread will only see it once it loops, so 'exiting'
will always be seen first.
Note that setting p->quit at multifd_send_terminate_threads() still

Aside from the convention, in this piece of code this must be the

Currently running migration_incoming_state_destroy() without first running
multifd_load_cleanup() will cause a yank error:
qemu-system-x86_64: ../util/yank.c:107: yank_unregister_instance:
Assertion `QLIST_EMPTY(&entry->yankfns)' failed.
(core dumped)
The above error happens in the target host, when multifd is being used
for precopy, and then postcopy is triggered and the migration finishes.
This will crash the VM in the target host.
To avoid that, move multifd_load_cleanup() inside
migration_incoming_state_destroy(), so that the load cleanup becomes part
of the incoming state destroying process.
Running multifd_load_cleanup() twice can become an issue, though, but the
only scenario it could be ran twice is on process_incoming_migration_bh().
So removing this extra call is necessary.
On the other hand, this multifd_load_cleanup() call happens way before the
migration_incoming_state_destroy() and having this happening before
dirty_bitmap_mig_before_vm_start() and vm_start() may be a need.
So introduce a new function multifd_load_shutdown() that will mainly stop
all multifd threads and close their QIOChannels. Then use this function
instead of multifd_load_cleanup() to make sure nothing else is received
before dirty_bitmap_mig_before_vm_start().

The whole idea of multi-channel checks was not properly done, IMHO.
Currently we check multi-channel in a lot of places, but actually that's
not needed because we only need to check it right after we get the URI and
that should be it.
If the URI check succeeded, we should never need to check it again because
we must have it. If it check fails, we should fail immediately on either
the qmp_migrate or qmp_migrate_incoming, instead of failingg it later after
the connection established.
Neither should we fail any set capabiliities like what we used to do here:
5ad15e8614 ("migration: allow enabling mutilfd for specific protocol only", 2021-10-19)
Because logically the URI will only be set later after the capability is
set, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to check the URI type when setting
the capability, because we're checking the cap with an old URI passed in,
and that may not even be the URI we're going to use later.
This patch mostly reverted all such checks for before, dropping the
variable migrate_allow_multi_channels and helpers. Instead, add a common
helper to check URI for multi-channels for either qmp_migrate and
qmp_migrate_incoming and that should do all the proper checks. The failure
will only trigger with the "migrate" or "migrate_incoming" command, or when
user specified "-incoming xxx" where "xxx" is not "defer".

Current logic assumes that channel connections on the destination side are
always established in the same order as the source and the first one will
always be the main channel followed by the multifid or post-copy
preemption channel. This may not be always true, as even if a channel has a
connection established on the source side it can be in the pending state on
the destination side and a newer connection can be established first.
Basically causing out of order mapping of channels on the destination side.
Currently, all channels except post-copy preempt send a magic number, this
patch uses that magic number to decide the type of channel. This logic is
applicable only for precopy(multifd) live migration, as mentioned, the
post-copy preempt channel does not send any magic number. Also, tls live
migrations already does tls handshake before creating other channels, so
this issue is not possible with tls, hence this logic is avoided for tls
live migrations. This patch uses read peek to check the magic number of
channels so that current data/control stream management remains
un-effected.

Some errors, like the lack of Scatter-Gather support by the network
interface(NETIF_F_SG) may cause sendmsg(...,MSG_ZEROCOPY) to fail on using
zero-copy, which causes it to fall back to the default copying mechanism.
After each full dirty-bitmap scan there should be a zero-copy flush
happening, which checks for errors each of the previous calls to
sendmsg(...,MSG_ZEROCOPY). If all of them failed to use zero-copy, then
increment dirty_sync_missed_zero_copy migration stat to let the user know
about it.

The qemu_file_update_transfer name doesn't give a clear guide on what
its purpose is, and how it differs from the qemu_file_credit_transfer
method. The latter is specifically for accumulating for total migration
traffic, while the former is specifically for accounting in thue rate
limit calculations. The new name give better guidance on its usage.

Implement zero copy send on nocomp_send_write(), by making use of QIOChannel
writev + flags & flush interface.
Change multifd_send_sync_main() so flush_zero_copy() can be called
after each iteration in order to make sure all dirty pages are sent before
a new iteration is started. It will also flush at the beginning and at the
end of migration.
Also make it return -1 if flush_zero_copy() fails, in order to cancel
the migration process, and avoid resuming the guest in the target host
without receiving all current RAM.
This will work fine on RAM migration because the RAM pages are not usually freed,
and there is no problem on changing the pages content between writev_zero_copy() and
the actual sending of the buffer, because this change will dirty the page and
cause it to be re-sent on a next iteration anyway.
A lot of locked memory may be needed in order to use multifd migration
with zero-copy enabled, so disabling the feature should be necessary for
low-privileged users trying to perform multifd migrations.

Since d48c3a0445 ("multifd: Use a single writev on the send side"),
sending the header packet and the memory pages happens in the same
writev, which can potentially make the migration faster.
Using channel-socket as example, this works well with the default copying
mechanism of sendmsg(), but with zero-copy-send=true, it will cause
the migration to often break.
This happens because the header packet buffer gets reused quite often,
and there is a high chance that by the time the MSG_ZEROCOPY mechanism get
to send the buffer, it has already changed, sending the wrong data and
causing the migration to abort.
It means that, as it is, the buffer for the header packet is not suitable
for sending with MSG_ZEROCOPY.
In order to enable zero copy for multifd, send the header packet on an
individual write(), without any flags, and the remanining pages with a
writev(), as it was happening before. This only changes how a migration
with zero-copy-send=true works, not changing any current behavior for
migrations with zero-copy-send=false.

Even though multifd_send_sync_main() currently emits error_reports, it's
callers don't really check it before continuing.
Change multifd_send_sync_main() to return -1 on error and 0 on success.
Also change all it's callers to make use of this change and possibly fail
earlier.
(This change is important to next patch on multifd zero copy
implementation, to make it sure an error in zero-copy flush does not go
unnoticed.

This variable, along with its helpers, is used to detect whether multiple
channel will be supported for migration. In follow up patches, there'll be
other capability that requires multi-channels. Hence move it outside multifd
specific code and make it public. Meanwhile rename it from "multifd" to
"multi_channels" to show its real meaning.
