Libguestfs - Jan 2021 - [PATCH 4/6] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Support multiple connections

Update the plugin to API_VERSION 2, and enable parallel threading model. With
unordered writes in qemu-img, and 8 threads in nbdkit, matching number of
parallel coroutines in qemu-img, I see about 50% speedup compared with current
master.

I tested this on a vm, using NFS storage provided by another vm, and accessing
ovirt-engine on a third vm. Results are not stable, and can vary by 100%
between runs. I'm comparing the best result from 3-5 runs.

We need to test these changes with real images, real servers, and real storage
to get more reliable results, but I think we see a clear trend. I will try to
test this RHV scale lab next week.

Update the callbacks to use new API, avoiding copies in pread(). Since
pread() is not used during import, this is not very useful, but it allow
using parallel threading model.

In imageio >= 2.0 the server reports the maximum number of readers and
writers. We will use these limits when creating a connection pool to the
server.

Use multiple connections to imageio server to speed up the transfer.

Connections are managed via a thread safe queue. Threads remove
a connection from the queue for every request, and put it back when at
the end of the request. Only one thread can access the connection at the
same time.

Threads are accessing existing values in the handle dict, like
h["path"]. They may also modify h["failed"] on errors. These
operations
are thread safe and do not require additional locking.

Sending flush request is more tricky; on imageio side, we have one
qemu-nbd server, with multiple connections. I'm not sure if sending one
flush command on one of the connections is good enough to flush all
commands, so we send flush command on all connections in the flush
callback.

Since flush may be called when there are in-flight requests, we wait
until all in-flight request are done before sending a flush. While
flushing, the connection pool is empty so new requests will block on the
queue until the flush is completed.

Closing is done in a similar way, waiting until all in-flight requests
are done and closing all connections.

Testing shows that we requests are spread over 4 connections, but
performance is worse. Connection time increased from 5.36 seconds to
7.08 seconds (32% slower).

Without unordered writes, qemu-img read data in parallel, but issue
requests in order, keeping only one in-flight request. With unordered
writes, qemu keeps up to 8 in-flight requests by default.

With this change we see significant improvement in the
rhv-upload-plugin. Connection time decreased from 7.08 seconds to 3.77
seconds, 88% faster. Compared with last version using single connection,
we are now 42% faster.

2.26.2

qemu-img is using 8 parallel coroutines by default. I tests up to 16
parallel coroutines and it seems that 8 gives good results.

nbdkit uses 16 threads by default. Testing nbdkit with qemu-img show
that 8 threads give good results.

I think for rhv upload plugin matching the number of threads to the
number of connections would be optimal. We need to improve this later to
use the optimal number for the configured input and output plugins.

Testing rhv-upload-plugin show small improvement (~6%) in total
connection time. Compared with last version using single connection, we
are now 50% faster.

Results are not stable, we need to test this with bigger images and real
environment.
