[PATCH V3 0/5] Xen, introducing dirty log for migration.

Hi,

This patch set will fix live migration under Xen. For this I introduce a new
QMP command to switch global-dirty log and few calls (in exec.c and memory.c)
to xen set_dirty function.

Change since v2:
  - renamed set_dirty_helper to invalidate_and_set_dirty.
  - in the last patch, set vram as dirty if the xen call fails, instead of only
    during migration.

Change v1-v2:
  - New patch to set dirty if not, in exec.c
    => only one place to add the xen call in exec.c


Thanks for your reviews,



Anthony PERARD (5):
  QMP, Introduce xen-set-global-dirty-log command.
  xen: Introduce xen_modified_memory.
  exec: Introduce helper to set dirty flags.
  exec, memory: Call to xen_modified_memory.
  xen: Set the vram dirty when an error occur.

[PATCH V3 1/5] QMP, Introduce xen-set-global-dirty-log command.

This command is used during a migration of a guest under Xen. It calls
memory_global_dirty_log_start or memory_global_dirty_log_stop according to the
argument pass to the command.

[PATCH V3 2/5] xen: Introduce xen_modified_memory.

This function is to be used during live migration. Every write access to the
guest memory should call this funcion so the Xen tools knows which pages are
dirty.

[PATCH V3 5/5] xen: Set the vram dirty when an error occur.

If the call to xc_hvm_track_dirty_vram() fails, then we set dirtybit on all the
video ram. This case happens during migration, but we don''t need a
special case
for live migration with patch.

Just as a reference, what is this special case for live migration that
you are talking about? A pointer to the qemu-xen-traditional code would
be welcomed here.
