I think in the previous version there was a question of how we handle yet-to-be-defined bits. For instance, if we defined a SUBTYPE_MIGRATIONv2 with the intention of making it backwards compatible with this version, do we declare the undefined bits as preserved so that the user should do a read-modify-write operation? > + * pending bytes: (read only) > + * Number of pending bytes yet to be migrated from vendor driver Is this for _SAVING, _RESUMING, or both? > + * > + * data_offset: (read only) > + * User application should read data_offset in migration region from where > + * user application should read device data during _SAVING state or write > + * device data during _RESUMING state or read dirty pages bitmap.

There are some subtleties in PFN that I'm not sure we're accounting for here. Devices operate in an IOVA space, which is defined by DMA_MAP calls. The user says this IOVA maps to this process virtual address. When there is no vIOMMU, we can \assume\ that IOVA ~= GPA and therefore this interface provides dirty gfns. However when we have a vIOMMU, we don't know the IOVA to GPA mapping, right? So is it expected that the user is calling this with GFNs relative to the device address space (IOVA) or relative to the VM address space (GPA)? For the kernel internal mdev interface, the pin pages API is always operating in the device view and I think never cares if those are IOVA or GPA. > + * > + * page_size: (write only) > + * User application should write the page_size of pfn. > + * > + * total_pfns: (write only) > + * Total pfn count from start_pfn for which dirty bitmap is requested. > + * > + * copied_pfns: (read only) > + * pfn count for which dirty bitmap is copied to migration region. > + * Vendor driver should copy the bitmap with bits set only for pages to be > + * marked dirty in migration region. > + * - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_NONE if none of the > + * pages are dirty in requested range or rest of the range. > + * - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_ALL to mark all > + * pages dirty in the given section.

I think we also want to talk about how the mmap support within this region is defined by a sparse mmap capability (this is required if any of it is mmap capable to support the non-mmap'd header) and the vendor driver can make portions of the data section mmap'able and others not. I believe (unless we want to require otherwise) that the data_offset to data_offset+data_size range can arbitrarily span mmap supported sections to meet the vendor driver's needs. > + * > + * Sequence to be followed: > + * In _SAVING|_RUNNING device state or pre-copy phase: > + * a. read pending_bytes.

There's no requirement that it be mmap'd, right? The vendor driver has the choice whether to support mmap, the user has the choice whether to access via mmap or read/write. > + * c. read data_size, amount of data in bytes written by vendor driver in > + * migration region. > + * d. if data section is trapped, read from data_offset of data_size. > + * e. if data section is mmaped, read data_size bytes from mmaped buffer from > + * data_offset in the migration region.

If so, should this sequence always end with a read of pending_bytes to indicate to the vendor driver to flush that data? I'm assuming there will be gap where the user reads save data from the device, does other things, and comes back to read more data. What assumptions, if any, can the user make about pending_bytes? For instance, if the device is _RUNNING, I assume no assumptions can be made, maybe with the exception that it represents the minimum pending state at that instant of time. The rate at which we're approaching convergence might be inferred, but any method to determine that would be beyond the scope here. > + * In _SAVING device state or stop-and-copy phase: > + * a. read config space of device and save to migration file stream.

Do we really want to condition this on being mmap'd?

We're mixing QEMU/VM use cases here, this is only the kernel interface spec, which can be used for such things, but is not tied to them. RAM ties to the previous question of the address space and implies we're operating in the GFN space while the device really only knows about the IOVA space. > + * > + * To get dirty page bitmap: > + * a. write start_pfn, page_size and total_pfns. Is it required to write every field every time? For instance page_size seems like it should only ever need to be written once. Is there any ordering required? It seems like step b) initiates the vendor driver to consume these fields, but that's not specified below. > + * b. read copied_pfns. > + * - Vendor driver should return VFIO_DEVICE_DIRTY_PFNS_NONE if driver > + * doesn't have any page to report dirty in given range or rest of the > + * range.

Iterate through steps a to d while (total copied_pfns < total_pfns) I thought there was some automatic iteration built into this interface, is that dropped? The user is now expected to do start_pf += copied_pfns and total_pfns -= copied_pfns themsevles? Does anything indicate to the vendor driver when the data area has been consumed such that resources can be released? > + * > + * In _RESUMING device state: > + * - Load device config state.

Out of scope, how the user gets the data is a userspace implementation detail. I think the important detail here is simply that each data transaction from the _SAVING process is indivisible and must translate to a _RESUMING transaction here. > + * - read data_offset from where User application should write data. > + * if region is mmaped, write data of data_size to mmaped region. > + * - write data_size. > + * In case of mmapped region, write on data_size indicates kernel > + * driver that data is written in staging buffer. > + * - if region is trapped, write data of data_size from data_offset. Gack! We need something better here, the sequence should be the same regardless of the mechanism used to write the data. It still confuses me how the resuming side can know where (data_offset) the incoming data should be written. If we're migrating a !_RUNNING device, then I can see how some portion of the device might be directly mmap'd and the sequence would be very deterministic. But if we're migrating a _RUNNING device, wouldn't the current data block depend on what portions of the device are active, which would be difficult to predict? > + * > + * For user application, data is opaque.

I agree, this is too easy to miss. I came up with "vfio: re-arrange vfio region definitions" (<20190717114956.16263-1-cohuck@redhat.com>), maybe that helps a bit.

Or can we state that undefined bits are ignored, and may or may not preserved, so that we can skip the read-modify-write requirement? v1 and v2 can hopefully be distinguished in a different way.

If data section is mmaped, then there has to be a staging buffer. On read(data_offset), data should be copied to staging buffer, but vendor driver doesn't get any indication when the read is done.

- Defined MIGRATION region type and sub-type. - Used 3 bits to define VFIO device states. Bit 0 => _RUNNING Bit 1 => _SAVING Bit 2 => _RESUMING Combination of these bits defines VFIO device's state during migration _STOPPED => All bits 0 indicates VFIO device stopped. _RUNNING => Normal VFIO device running state. _SAVING | _RUNNING => vCPUs are running, VFIO device is running but start saving state of device i.e. pre-copy state _SAVING => vCPUs are stoppped, VFIO device should be stopped, and save device state,i.e. stop-n-copy state _RESUMING => VFIO device resuming state. _SAVING | _RESUMING => Invalid state if _SAVING and _RESUMING bits are set - Defined vfio_device_migration_info structure which will be placed at 0th offset of migration region to get/set VFIO device related information. Defined members of structure and usage on read/write access: * device_state: (read/write) To convey VFIO device state to be transitioned to. Only 3 bits are used as of now. * pending bytes: (read only) To get pending bytes yet to be migrated for VFIO device. * data_offset: (read only) To get data offset in migration from where data exist during _SAVING and from where data should be written by user space application during _RESUMING state * data_size: (read/write) To get and set size of data copied in migration region during _SAVING and _RESUMING state. * start_pfn, page_size, total_pfns: (write only) To get bitmap of dirty pages from vendor driver from given start address for total_pfns. * copied_pfns: (read only) To get number of pfns bitmap copied in migration region. Vendor driver should copy the bitmap with bits set only for pages to be marked dirty in migration region. Vendor driver should return 0 if there are 0 pages dirty in requested range. Vendor driver should return -1 to mark all pages in the section as dirty Migration region looks like: ------------------------------------------------------------------ |vfio_device_migration_info| data section | | | /////////////////////////////// | ------------------------------------------------------------------ ^ ^ ^ offset 0-trapped part data_offset data_size Data section is always followed by vfio_device_migration_info structure in the region, so data_offset will always be none-0.
