[PATCH v3 00/14] Dynamically switch to vhost shadow virtqueues at vdpa net migration

[Eugenio Pérez]

It's possible to migrate vdpa net devices if they are shadowed from the
start.  But to always shadow the dataplane is to effectively break its host
passthrough, so its not efficient in vDPA scenarios.

This series enables dynamically switching to shadow mode only at
migration time.  This allows full data virtqueues passthrough all the
time qemu is not migrating.

In this series only net devices with no CVQ are migratable.  CVQ adds
additional state that would make the series bigger and still had some
controversy on previous RFC, so let's split it.

Successfully tested with vdpa_sim_net with patch [1] applied and with the qemu
emulated device with vp_vdpa with some restrictions:
* No CVQ. No feature that didn't work with SVQ previously (packed, ...)
* VIRTIO_RING_F_STATE patches implementing [2].
* Expose _F_SUSPEND, but ignore it and suspend on ring state fetch like
  DPDK.

Previous versions were tested by many vendors. Not carrying Tested-by because
of code changes, so re-testing would be appreciated.

Comments are welcome.

v3:
- Start datapatch in SVQ in device started while migrating.
- Properly register migration blockers if device present unsupported features.
- Fix race condition because of not stopping the SVQ until device cleanup.
- Explain purpose of iova tree in the first patch message.
- s/dynamycally/dynamically/ in cover letter.

v2:
- Check for SUSPEND in vhost_dev.backend_cap, as .backend_features is empty at
  the check moment.

v1:
- Omit all code working with CVQ and block migration if the device supports
  CVQ.
- Remove spurious kick.
- Move all possible checks for migration to vhost-vdpa instead of the net
  backend. Move them to init code from start code.
- Suspend on vhost_vdpa_dev_start(false) instead of in vhost-vdpa net backend.
- Properly split suspend after geting base and adding of status_reset patches.
- Add possible TODOs to points where this series can improve in the future.
- Check the state of migration using migration_in_setup and
  migration_has_failed instead of checking all the possible migration status in
  a switch.
- Add TODO with possible low hand fruit using RESUME ops.
- Always offer _F_LOG from virtio/vhost-vdpa and let migration blockers do
  their thing instead of adding a variable.
- RFC v2 at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-01/msg02574.html

RFC v2:
- Use a migration listener instead of a memory listener to know when
  the migration starts.
- Add stuff not picked with ASID patches, like enable rings after
  driver_ok
- Add rewinding on the migration src, not in dst
- RFC v1 at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2022-08/msg01664.html
