Hi

I am late to the party, but I agree with Dan that we need two flags.

Thre reason is that you can be the target of one migration, and later be
the source of a next one.  If we only have one flag that means different
things on the source and destination side, things become really
complicated.

Later, Juan.

That's not good because mgmt apps cannot query the QAPI schema
to find out if this feature is supported or not.

If we wantt o support zero copy recv, then we need an explicit
flag for it that is distinct from zero copy send, so that apps
can introspect whether the feature is implemneted in QEMU or
not.

Distinct named bool flags feels better, and also makes it clear
to anyone not familiar with the impl that the current  code is
strictly send only.

Daniel

It's possible, but I haven't started the implementation yet.

Well, my rationale:
- I want to set zero copy sending:
zero-copy is set in the sending host, start migration.

- I want to set zero copy receiving:
zero-copy is set in the receiving host, wait for migration.
(Of course host support is checked when setting the parameter).

The problem with the current approach is trying to enable zero-copy on
receive before it's implemented, which will 'fail' silently .
A possible solution would be to add a patch to check in the receiving
path if zero-copy is enabled, and fail for now.

What do you think?

Leo

The idea is to avoid some future issues on testing migration while bisecting.

The current zerocopy impl is for the send path.

Do you expect we might get zerocopy in the receive path
later ?

If so then either call this 'send-zero-copy', or change it
from a bool to an enum taking '["send", "recv", "both"]'.

I'd probably take the former and just rename it.

Daniel

I feel sad every time seeing a new parameter needs to be mostly duplicated 3
times in the code. :(

I got confused the 1st time looking at it..  I think this is not strongly
needed, but that's okay:

[PATCH v7 3/5] migration: Add zero-copy parameter for QMP/HMP for Linux

2022-01-06 Thread Leonardo Bras
Add property that allows zero-copy migration of memory pages,
and also includes a helper function migrate_use_zero_copy() to check
if it's enabled.

No code is introduced to actually do the migration, but it allow
future implementations to enable/disable this feature.

On non-Linux builds this parameter is compiled-out.
