This patch adds virtio-pmem Qemu device.

 This device configures memory address range information with file
 backend type. It acts like persistent memory device for KVM guest.
 It presents the memory address range to virtio-pmem driver over
 virtio channel and does the block flush whenever there is request
 from guest to flush/sync. (Qemu part for backing file flush
 is yet to be implemented).

 Current code is a RFC to support guest with persistent memory 
 range & DAX.

So right now you're just using some memdev for testing.

I assume that the memory region we will provide to the guest will be a
simple memory mapped raw file. Dirty tracking (using the kvm slot) will
be used to detect which blocks actually changed and have to be flushed
to disk.

Will this raw file already have the "disk information header" (no idea
how that stuff is called) encoded? Are there any plans/possible ways to

a) automatically create the headers? (if that's even possible)
b) support anything but raw files?

Please note that under x86, a KVM memory slot still has a (in my
opinion) fairly big overhead depending on the size of the slot (rmap,
page_track). We might have to optimize that.

yes.

Not really, we will perform fsync on raw file. As this file is created
on regular storage and not nvdimm, so host page cache radix tree would have 
the dirty pages information which will be used for fsync.

Its raw. Right now we are just supporting raw format.  

As this is direct mapping of memory into guest address space, I don't
think we can have an abstraction of headers for block specific features.
Or may be we can get opinion of others(Qemu block people) it is at all possible?

I have not tried/observed this. Right now I just used single memory slot and cold add
few MB's of memory in Qemu. Can you please provide more details on this?

Ah right. That makes things a lot easier!

You can have a look at kvm_arch_create_memslot() in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c.

"npages" is used to allocate certain arrays (rmap for shadow page
tables). Also kvm_page_track_create_memslot() allocates data for page_track.

Having a big disk involves a lot of memory overhead due to the big kvm
memory slot. This is already the case for NVDIMMs as of now.

Other architectures (e.g. s390x) don't have this "problem". They don't
allocate any such data depending on the size of a memory slot.

This is certainly something to work on in the future.

memdev and the block layer are completely separate.  The block layer
isn't designed for memory-mapped access.

I think it makes sense to use memdev here.  If the user wants a block
device, they should use an emulated block device, not virtio-pmem,
because buffering is necessary anyway when an image file format is used.

Not questioning if this is the right thing to do now. I was wondering if
we could expose any block device in the future as virtio-pmem. And I
think with quite some work it could be possible.

As you said, we will need some buffering. Maybe userfaultfd and friends
(WP) could allow to implement that.
