[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V15 00/12] Introduce COLO-Proxy

[Zhang Chen]

COLO-proxy is a part of COLO project. COLO project is
composed of COLO-frame, COLO-proxy and block-replication.
It is used to compare the network package to help COLO
decide whether to do checkpoint. With COLO-proxy's help,
COLO greatly improves the performance.

The filter-redirector, filter-mirror, colo-compare
and filter-rewriter compose the COLO-proxy.

COLO-compare
It is used to compare the network package to help COLO decide
whether to do checkpoint. 

Filter-rewriter
It will rewrite some of secondary packet to make
secondary guest's connection established successfully.
In this module we will rewrite tcp packet's ack to the secondary
from primary,and rewrite tcp packet's seq to the primary from
secondary.

  - change "ConnectionKey key = { 0 };" to
    "ConnectionKey key = {{0},};", fix typo.

v14:
  - fix some coding style problems
  - move patch "add docs/colo-proxy.txt" to the end of this series

  - change g_queue_foreach() to g_queue_find_custom() in patch7
  - change trace_colo_compare_tcp_miscompare() to fprintf() in patch8

v12:
  - add qemu-char: Add qemu_chr_add_handlers_full() for GMaincontext
    to this series as the first patch.
  - update COLO net ascii figure.
  - add chardev socket check.
  - fix some typo.
  - add some comments.
  - rename net/colo-base.c to net/colo.c
  - rename network/transport_layer to network/transport_header.
  - move the job that clear coon_list when hashtable_size oversize
    to connection_get.
  - reuse connection_destroy() do colo_rm_connection().
  - fix pkt mem leak in colo_compare_connection().
    (result be released in g_queue_remove(), so it were not leak)
  - rename thread_name "compare" to "colo-compare".

v11:
  - Make patch 5 to a independent patch series.
    [PATCH V3] qemu-char: Add qemu_chr_add_handlers_full() for GMaincontext
  - For Jason's comments, merge filter-rewriter to this series.
    (patch 7,8,9)
  - Add reverse_connection_key()
  - remove conn_list in filter-rewriter
  - remove unprocessed_connections
  - add some comments

v10:
  - fix typo
  - Should we make patch 5 independent with this series?
    This patch just add a API for qemu-char.

v9:
 p5:
  - use chr_update_read_handler_full() replace
    the chr_update_read_handler()
  - use io_watch_poll_prepare_full() replace
    the io_watch_poll_prepare()
  - use io_watch_poll_funcs_full replace
    the io_watch_poll_funcs
  - avoid code duplication

v8:
 p5:
  - add new patch:
    qemu-char: Add qemu_chr_add_handlers_full() for GMaincontext

v7:
 p5:
   - add [PATCH]qemu-char: Fix context for g_source_attach()
     in this patch series.

v6: 
 p6:
   - add more commit log.
   - fix icmp comparison to compare all packet.

 p5:
   - add more cpmments in commit log.
   - change REGULAR_CHECK_MS to REGULAR_PACKET_CHECK_MS
   - make check old packet independent to compare thread
   - remove thread_status

 p4:
   - change this patch only about
     Connection and ConnectionKey.
   - add some comments in commit log.
   - remove mode in fill_connection_key().
   - fix some comments and bug.
   - move colo_conn_state to patch of
     "work with colo-frame"
   - remove conn_list_lock.
   - add MAX_QUEUE_SIZE, if primary_list or
     secondary_list biger than MAX_QUEUE_SIZE
     we will drop packet. 

 p3:
   - add new independent kernel jhash patch.

 p2:
   - add new independent colo-base patch.

 p1:
   - add a ascii figure and some comments to explain it
   - move trace.h to p2
   - move QTAILQ_HEAD(, CompareState) net_compares to
     patch of "work with colo-frame"
   - add some comments in qemu-option.hx


v5:
 p3:
    - comments from Jason
      we poll and handle chardev in comapre thread,
      Through this way, there's no need for extra 
      synchronization with main loop
      this depend on another patch:
      qemu-char: Fix context for g_source_attach()
    - remove QemuEvent
 p2:
    - remove conn->list_lock

v4:
 p4:
    - add some comments
    - fix some trace-events
    - fix tcp compare error
 p3:
    - add rcu_read_lock().
    - fix trace name
    - fix jason's other comments
    - rebase some Dave's branch function
 p2:
    - colo_compare_connection() change g_queue_push_head() to
    - g_queue_push_tail() match to sorted order.
    - remove pkt->s
    - move data structure to colo-base.h
    - add colo-base.c reuse codes for filter-rewriter
    - add some filter-rewriter needs struct
    - depends on previous SocketReadState patch
 p1:
    - except move qemu_chr_add_handlers()
      to colo thread
    - remove class_finalize
    - remove secondary arp codes
