[RESEND QEMU PATCH v4 0/1] S3 support
Posted by Jiqian Chen 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Hi all,
I hope you’ll forgive me if this disturb you. Since it has been almost two
months since the latest patch was sent out, I didn't receive any reply, so I
rebase the latest master branch and sent it again. I am looking forward to
getting your response.

Best regards,
Jiqian Chen

v4:
Hi all,
Thanks for Gerd Hoffmann's advice. V4 makes below changes:
* Use enum for freeze mode, so this can be extended with more
  modes in the future.
* Rename functions and paratemers with "_S3" postfix.
And no functional changes.

latest version on kernel side:

v3:
Hi all,
Thanks for Michael S. Tsirkin's advice. V3 makes below changes:
* Remove changes in file include/standard-headers/linux/virtio_gpu.h
  I am not supposed to edit this file and it will be imported after
  the patches of linux kernel was merged.

v2:
Hi all,
Thanks to Marc-André Lureau, Robert Beckett and Gerd Hoffmann for their advice and
guidance. V2 makes below changes:

* Change VIRTIO_CPU_CMD_STATUS_FREEZING to 0x0400 (<0x1000)
* Add virtio_gpu_device_unrealize to destroy resources to solve
  potential memory leak problem. This also needs hot-plug support.
* Add a new feature flag VIRTIO_GPU_F_FREEZING, so that guest and
  host can negotiate whenever freezing is supported or not.

v1:
Hi all,
I am working to implement virtgpu S3 function on Xen.

Currently on Xen, if we start a guest who enables virtgpu, and then run "echo mem >
/sys/power/state" to suspend guest. And run "sudo xl trigger <guest id> s3resume" to
resume guest. We can find that the guest kernel comes back, but the display doesn't.
It just shown a black screen.

Through reading codes, I founded that when guest was during suspending, it called
into Qemu to call virtio_gpu_gl_reset. In virtio_gpu_gl_reset, it destroyed all
resources and reset renderer. This made the display gone after guest resumed.

I think we should keep resources or prevent they being destroyed when guest is
suspending. So, I add a new status named freezing to virtgpu, and add a new ctrl
message VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_STATUS_FREEZING to get notification from guest. If freezing
is set to true, and then Qemu will realize that guest is suspending, it will not
destroy resources and will not reset renderer. If freezing is set to false, Qemu
will do its origin actions, and has no other impaction.

And now, display can come back and applications can continue their status after
guest resumes.
