[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 0/6] QEMU shared-memory backend |

A new memory backend, the shared memory backend, based on
the file memory backend.
This new backend allows a master QEMU instance to share a part of
his main memory whith a slave QEMU instance. It is then possible to load
a firmware on this memory and trigger the slave boot using a SDM
signal.
Such new backend enables, on a master side, to allocate the whole
memory as shareable (e.g. /dev/shm, or hugetlbfs).
On the slave side it enables the startup of QEMU without any main memory
allocated. Then the slave goes in a waiting state, the same used in the
case of an incoming migration, and the file descriptor of the shared
memory is sent by the master over a socket.
The waiting state ends when the master sends to the slave a signal
with size and offset to mmap and use as memory as payload.
You can test those patches using modules and test application available
on https://git.virtualopensystems.com/dev/qemu-het-tools.
- SDM Platform module on branch sdm_test_mod_v1
- Test application on branch sdm_test_app
- Slave files on branch demo_slaves_sdm
QEMU code is avalaible here https://git.virtualopensystems.com/dev/qemu on
branch rfc_v2.
Run QEMU master instance:
./qemu-system-arm -nographic \
-kernel zImage \
-M virt -m 1G \
-initrd busybox.cpio \
-object multi-socket-backend,id=sock,path=sock,listen \
-object
memory-backend-shared,id=mem,size=1G,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,socket=sock,master
\
-object sdm-signal-shboot,id=boot,shm=mem \
-object sdm-communication-socket,id=scomm,socket=sock \
-device
virtio-sdm-device,comm=scomm,master,num-slaves=1,len-signals=1,signals[0]=boot \
-append "mem=512M memmap=512M$0x60000000" \
-numa node,memdev=mem -m 1G
Run QEMU slave instance:
./qemu-system-arm -nographic \
-kernel zImage \
-M virt -m 1G \
-initrd busybox.cpio \
-object multi-socket-backend,id=sock,path=sock \
-object memory-backend-shared,id=mem,size=512M,socket=sock \
-object sdm-signal-shboot,id=boot,shm=mem \
-object sdm-communication-socket,id=scomm,socket=sock \
-device sdm-platform,comm=scomm,len-signals=1,signals[0]="boot" \
-incoming "shared:mem" \
-numa node,memdev=mem -m 512M
On the master, load the SDM module (insmod sdm_test_mod_v1) and trigger the
boot with
the following command:
./sdm-test -b 0 1 zImage slave.dtb
zImage and slave.dtb are available on branch demo_slaves_sdm.
This patch serie is a follow-up to "[RFC PATCH 0/8] Towards an Heterogeneous
QEMU":
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-10/msg00171.html
This patch serie depends on:
- [RFC v2 0/6] SDM Interface
- [RFC v2 1/1] backend: multi-client-socket
This work has been sponsored by Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH.
