[PATCH 9.0 v2 00/13] Consolidate common vdpa members in VhostVDPAShared

[Eugenio Pérez]

Current memory operations like pinning may take a lot of time at the
destination.  Currently they are done after the source of the migration is
stopped, and before the workload is resumed at the destination.  This is a
period where neigher traffic can flow, nor the VM workload can continue
(downtime).

We can do better as we know the memory layout of the guest RAM at the
destination from the moment the migration starts.  Moving that operation allows
QEMU to communicate the kernel the maps while the workload is still running in
the source, so Linux can start mapping them.  Ideally, all IOMMU is configured,
but if the vDPA parent driver uses on-chip IOMMU and .set_map we're still
saving all the pinning time.

This is a first required step to consolidate all the members in a common
struct.  This is needed because the destination does not know what vhost_vdpa
struct will have the registered listener member, so it is easier to place them
in a shared struct rather to keep them in vhost_vdpa struct.

v2:
* Avoid repeated setting shared->shadow_data by squashing Si-Wei's patch
  [1].

v1 from RFC:
* Fix vhost_vdpa_net_cvq_start checking for always_svq instead of
  shadow_data.  This could cause CVQ not being shadowed if
  vhost_vdpa_net_cvq_start was called in the middle of a migration.
