[Libvir] [PATCH 0/7] QEMU/KVM save/restore support, take 3
Here's take 3 of the QEMU/KVM save/restore support. Thanks for your input. Changes since last time: - Remove escape sequence filtering, it's not necessary. - Clean up stdin handling in virExec, use -1 to signify unused - Add signal-safe read/write wrappers that handle EINTR and use them. - Add version and padding to image header, and check version on restore. - Include null-termination in XML data length - Show name of conflicting domain in error message Everything seems to work well in my tests. I've run into a few rare cases where the migration doesn't work correctly (causing segfaults in the guest, or kvm to crash), but it's not libvirt's fault, and libvirt handles the failures well. (I suspect it's related to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/5583) Thanks, -jim -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

Sorry, I'm still trying to learn these tools ... those subjects weren't numbered. The order should be: Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Fix issues with QEMU monitor interface. Subject: [PATCH 2/7] Add option to pass stdin fd to virExec Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Add migration support to QEMU startup. Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Add qemudEscapeShellArg for passing commandlines to qemu. Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Add signal-safe read/write wrappers Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Add KVM save support using migration. Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Add KVM restore support using migration. -jim -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

It all worked nicely for me too - exposed a bug in virt-manager too :-) Thanks again for coding debugging this all Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
