From: Steve Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com>

Unlike cpr-reboot mode, cpr-transfer mode cannot save volatile ram blocks
in the migration stream file and recreate them later, because the physical
memory for the blocks is pinned and registered for vfio.  Add a blocker
for volatile ram blocks.

Also add a blocker for RAM_GUEST_MEMFD.  Preserving guest_memfd may be
sufficient for CPR, but it has not been tested yet.

This patch breaks booting an SNP guest as it triggers the following
assert:

qemu-system-x86_64: ../util/error.c:68: error_setv: Assertion `*errp == NULL' failed.

I tracked it to the err_setg() call in ram_block_add_cpr_blocker().
It looks like the error message is unable to be printed because
rb->cpr_blocker is NULL.

Adding aux-ram-share=on to the -machine object gets me past the error and
therefore the assertion, but isn't that an incompatible change to how an
SNP guest has to be started?

Thanks,
Tom

If I update the err_setg() call to use the errp parameter that is passed
into ram_block_add_cpr_blocker(), I get the following message and then
the guest launch terminates:

qemu-system-x86_64: Memory region pc.bios is not compatible with CPR.
share=on is required for memory-backend objects, and aux-ram-share=on is
required.

The qemu parameters I used prior to this patch that allowed an SNP guest
to launch were:

-machine type=q35,confidential-guest-support=sev0,memory-backend=ram1
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram1,size=16G,share=true,prealloc=false

With these parameters after this patch, the launch fails.

Thanks,
Tom

I think it might be failing because the caller of
ram_block_add_cpr_blocker() is passing in &error_abort, but if the
error_setg() is call on a properly initialized cpr_blocker value then
SNP is still able to boot for me. I'm not sure where the best spot is
to initialize cpr_blocker, it probably needs to be done before either
ram_block_add_cpr_blocker() or ram_block_del_cpr_blocker() are callable,
but the following avoids the reported crash at least:

The usage at ram_block_add_cpr_blocker() is correct, the cpr_blocker
gets initialized and registered as a migration blocker. The errp only
becomes relevant later when migration starts and the error condition is
met.

Since errp is an &error_fatal, it causes QEMU to exit, so this^ error
message is bogus.

Could it be the cpr_blocker already got set at ram_block_add() in the
RAM_GUEST_MEMFD path?

That seems to be the case: in some cases ram_block_add() sets cpr_blocker
when (new_block->flags & RAM_GUEST_MEMFD) is true, and then soon after
when ram_block_add_cpr_blocker() is called on the same RAMBlock:

Thanks everyone for debugging this.  To summarize, ram_block_add_cpr_blocker already blocks
guest_memfd, because rb->fd < 0.  The fix is to delete this redundant code in ram_block_add:

         error_setg(&new_block->cpr_blocker,
                    "Memory region %s uses guest_memfd, "
                    "which is not supported with CPR.",
                    memory_region_name(new_block->mr));
         migrate_add_blocker_modes(&new_block->cpr_blocker, errp,
                                   MIG_MODE_CPR_TRANSFER, MIG_MODE_CPR_EXEC,
                                   -1);

I will submit a fix (unless Tom or Michael would prefer to author it).
