This RFC implements a "fast snapshot load" mechanism to significantly reduce the perceived resume time of a VM from a snapshot file. Currently, resuming a VM from a snapshot file requires loading all RAM pages into the QEMU instance before execution begins. This extension allows the user to run the VM nearly instantly by loading only the required device states up front and loading RAM pages lazily, by trapping access to pages that have not yet been loaded. Using the Linux userfaultfd syscall, a fault thread catches all page faults caused by the guest and loads in the pages required to keep the VM running. Concurrently, an eager background thread iteratively loads all remaining pages into RAM so the guest does not have to depend on the fault thread indefinitely. Much of code is reused from postcopy for fault handling and precopy for reading mapped ram file. Implementation revolves around two threads named the fault thread and eager load thread. Fault thread as name suggests catches page faults by the guest and serves them using userfaultfd. Postcopy fault thread is reused but instead of requesting source for a page it loads the page directly by reading from file. In order to remove the dependency of guest on fault thread indefinitely the eager load thread loads in the entire RAM sequentially, and after iterating through the entire RAM signals fault thread to exit and calls cleanup. In order to prevent the case of a page being loaded twice(in the case when eager load thread is loading it and fault thread also tries to serve fault on same page) a bitmap called pending_bmap is used to track pages which are pending and not being loaded by any thread. Atomic operations on this bitmap allows coordination between threads to prevent any unwanted behaviours This patch was tested using a Debian 13 bare minimum system and Fedora 44 KDE, snapshots for both are loaded successfully with no error. Next Steps: - Add testing framework, in qtest and unit tests - Update documentation Future direction: - Add support for hugepages - Add support for multifd - Add support for vhost-user --- v1 -> v2 - Structure Change: Expanded from 5 to 7 patches - Move test removal patch from last to first as suggested by Peter - Patch 2 to 4 are meant to be non functional changes meant to prepare for actual feature Implementation - Patch 3 and 4 from last series were squashed together into the final patch - Improve error handling in postcopy_ram_incoming_setup() and postcopy_temp_pages_setup() for easier error handling - Use pending_bmap for loading eliminating need of nonzeropages map as suggested by Peter - Keep exit from qemu_get_buffer_at() in case the file has error as pointed by Peter - Eliminate migrate_fast_snapshot_load() to prevent complication of capability matrix as pointed by Fabiano - Add function ram_should_load_postcopy_pages() to improve readability as suggested by Peter - Fixed comment for postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page() to align with auto documentation as pointed by peter - Modify postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page() to return boolean for success and use errp for modular error handling - Replaced use of TARGET_PAGE_SIZE with qemu_ram_pagesize(rb) for modularity and ease of adding hugepages support - Add blocktime support directly and fixed a race condition on received map - Add migration_incoming_has_postcopy_thread() to improve readability as suggested by Peter - Moved the setup and run logic for fast snapshot from qemu_loadvm_state() to process_incoming_migration_co() for cleanliness as suggested by Peter - Rename eager load thread to snapshot_load as suggested by Peter - Use RAM_CHANNEL_PRECOPY/RAM_CHANNEL_POSTCOPY instead of hardcoded values for eager thread and fault thread load channels as suggested by Peter - Reused postcopy_listen_thread_bh(and rename it to postcopy_incoming_complete_bh) as suggested by Peter - Removed the bypass on process_incoming_migration_bh scheduling as pointed by Peter and Fabiano Aadeshveer Singh (7): migration/tests: remove capability conflict test postcopy-ram+mapped-ram migration: Propagate error in postcopy setup functions migration: Use file_bmap for RAMBlock during incoming file load migration: Make qemu_get_buffer_at() thread-safe migration: add RAMBlock field and helper for fast snapshot load migration: add support for fault thread to load pages from disk migration: add eager load thread and setup for fast snapshot load include/system/ramblock.h | 6 + migration/migration.c | 33 +++- migration/migration.h | 5 + migration/options.c | 6 - migration/postcopy-ram.c | 236 +++++++++++++++++++++++------ migration/postcopy-ram.h | 4 +- migration/qemu-file.c | 5 +- migration/ram.c | 88 +++++++++-- migration/savevm.c | 26 ++++ migration/savevm.h | 2 + migration/trace-events | 2 + tests/qtest/migration/misc-tests.c | 52 ------- 12 files changed, 347 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-) -- 2.54.0
Remove the test test_validate_caps_pair, which asserted postcopy-ram and mapped-ram capabilities cannot be active together. The new fast snapshot load feature is exactly this pair of capabilities active together, with the following patches in this series, this combination will now supported and be functional. Remove the capability check that rejected mapped-ram and postcopy-ram being set simultaneously, as this combination now corresponds to fast snapshot load. No replacement test for fast snapshot load is included in this RFC. A test exercising the full save/load flow will be added in a follow-up.

Modernize error handling in postcopy_ram_incoming_setup() and postcopy_temp_pages_setup() by replacing error_reports and local error handling with standard Error propagation. Replace use of strerror() on errno with error_setg_errno() for modular handling of errors and change return values to -1 on failure as no caller checks the actual return value.

Replace the temporary bitmap with the existing file_bmap attribute of the RAMBlock. This acts as a preparatory change for the upcoming fast snapshot load feature. Reusing this bitmap allows the destination to track page types during a postcopy load, enabling faster, direct placement of zero pages. Since file_bmap is currently only utilized during the migration save phase, it can be safely repurposed during the load phase without introducing conflicts.

Remove the internal QEMUFile error state modification from qemu_get_buffer_at(). This function is called by two functions, both of which already check for unexpected return values and handle their own error reporting. Removing this shared state modification makes qemu_get_buffer_at() strictly thread-safe for concurrent disk reads, serving as a preparatory change for the upcoming fast snapshot load feature.

In fast snapshot load, we would like to serve faults as soon as possible hence loading pages directly instead of requesting a source Add postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page() function which serves single page fault by reading the snapshot file. It uses bitmap_test_and_clear_atomic on pending_bmap to coordinate between threads so each page is loaded exactly once. Non-zero pages are read using qemu_get_buffer_at into a temporary page (for loading page atomically), which is then placed using postcopy_place_page. Zero pages are placed directly using postcopy_place_page_zero. Update postcopy_ram_fault_thread to call postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page instead of requesting source in case of fast snapshot load. to_src_file check is bypassed in fast snapshot load case as there is no source. Add postcopy-blocktime support by calling mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin on every fault. We need to aqcuire the page_request_mutex lock and check the recv bitmap to make sure we prevent a race condition when a fault occurs but before the fault thread can mark the page for tracking the eager thread loads in the page making us fail the assert for recv bitmap being clear while marking in mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin(). Allocate another channel in postcopy_temp_pages_setup(like the preempt case), for both the fault thread and eager thread to load pages independently.

In fast snapshot load a thread is needed for actively loading in pages along with the fault path so that the guest is not dependent on fault thread indefinitely. Considering the difference from usual network postcopy where major chunk of RAM is already loaded here entire RAM needs to be loaded later. Existance of background pages which are not really accessed by the guest might never be loaded and system will be locked in migration for indefinite time. As there should be no assumption about how guest accesses memory, the load times can be indefinite. Add postcopy_ram_eager_load_thread(), for the eager thread which iterates over all non ignored blocks calling ram_block_load_eager() on each. ram_block_load_eager then iterates to load in all pages using postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page(), with a different channel, which takes care of not loading in pages already loaded by fault thread. On completion the thread schedules postcopy_incoming_complete_bh() to destroy the incoming migration state. Add postcopy_ram_eager_load_setup() to create the thread. Added joining logic in postcopy_incoming_cleanup(). Add tracepoints for entry and exit to eager load thread. When both mapped-ram and postcopy-ram are set, divert from qemu_loadvm_state to run fast snapshot load Initialize postcopy RAM state and register RAM Blocks with userfaultfd via ram_postcopy_incoming_init() and postcopy_ram_incoming_setup() in process_incoming_migration_co(). Fault thread needs to be launched before VM to serve faults for some hardwares emulation that need to read RAM (like vapic devices). Populate bitmaps and offset tables while reading file in qemu_loadvm_state_main. Add function qemu_loadvm_run_fast_snapshot_load() which starts the VM using loadvm_postcopy_handle_run_bh() and launches eager load thread. Skip scheduling process_incoming_migration_bh() in process_incoming_migration_co(), for fast snapshot load as the state cleanup is managed by eager load thread on completion.

This series implements a "fast snapshot load" mechanism to significantly reduce the perceived resume time of a VM from a snapshot file. Currently, resuming a VM from a snapshot file requires loading all RAM pages into the QEMU instance before execution begins. This extension allows the user to run the VM nearly instantly by loading only the required device states up front and loading RAM pages lazily, by trapping access to pages that have not yet been loaded. Using the Linux userfaultfd syscall, a fault thread catches all page faults caused by the guest and loads in the pages required to keep the VM running. Concurrently, an eager background thread iteratively loads all remaining pages into RAM so the guest does not have to depend on the fault thread indefinitely. Much of code is reused from postcopy for fault handling and precopy for reading mapped ram file. Implementation revolves around two threads named the fault thread and eager load thread. Fault thread as name suggests catches page faults by the guest and serves them using userfaultfd. Postcopy fault thread is reused but instead of requesting source for a page it loads the page directly by reading from file. In order to remove the dependency of guest on fault thread indefinitely the eager load thread loads in the entire RAM sequentially, and after iterating through the entire RAM signals fault thread to exit and calls cleanup. In order to prevent the case of a page being loaded twice(in the case when eager load thread is loading it and fault thread also tries to serve fault on same page) a bitmap called pending_bmap is used to track pages which are pending and not being loaded by any thread. Atomic operations on this bitmap allows coordination between threads to prevent any unwanted behaviours Future direction: - Add support for multifd - Add support for vhost-user --- v1 -> v2 - Structure Change: Expanded from 7 to 11 patches - Move test removal patch from first to post implementation as suggested by Peter - Patch 1 to 5 are meant to be non functional changes meant to modernize parts of code and prepare for feature Implementation - Patch 10 performs a smoke test for implemented feature - Patch 11 adds a documentation page for fast snapshot load - Added explicit fails for features not supported/incompatible with fast snapshot load in compatibility check in options.c as suggested by Peter - Passed errp object to qemu_get_buffer_at() to improve on error reporting as suggested by Peter - Size of pending_bmap is updated to have a bit for every guest page according to guest page size and not host page size as pointed by Peter - New function(ramblock_file_bitmap_page_is_nonzero()) has been introduced to test for zero pages while loading essentially enableing support for hugepages - Updated the documentation comment over postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page() to add errp as pointed by Peter - Added a new function try_mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin() to call mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin() taking care of assumptions like skipping if page is already received to improve on the readability as pointed by Peter - Fixed bug, that sent non page alined addresses to mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin() as pointed by Peter - Separate the postcopy_listen_thread_bh() rename patch as suggested by Peter - Add comment explaining changes in process_incoming_migration_co() as suggested by Peter - Make qemu_loadvm_run_fast_snapshot_load() and postcopy_ram_eager_load_setup() return void as these functions never fail as pointed by Peter Aadeshveer Singh (11): migration: Propagate error in postcopy setup functions migration: Extract blocktime marking helper migration: Rename postcopy_listen_thread_bh migration: Use file_bmap for RAMBlock during incoming file load migration: Make qemu_get_buffer_at() thread-safe migration: add RAMBlock field and helper for fast snapshot load migration: add support for fault thread to load pages from disk migration: add eager load thread and setup for fast snapshot load migration/tests: remove capability conflict test postcopy-ram+mapped-ram migration/tests: Add test for fast snapshot load docs/migration: Add documentation for fast snapshot load feature docs/devel/migration/fast-snapshot-load.rst | 81 ++++++ docs/devel/migration/features.rst | 1 + include/system/ramblock.h | 6 + migration/migration.c | 60 +++-- migration/migration.h | 5 + migration/options.c | 14 +- migration/postcopy-ram.c | 266 ++++++++++++++++---- migration/postcopy-ram.h | 7 +- migration/qemu-file.c | 9 +- migration/qemu-file.h | 4 +- migration/ram.c | 103 +++++++- migration/ram.h | 2 + migration/savevm.c | 16 ++ migration/savevm.h | 2 + migration/trace-events | 2 + tests/qtest/migration/file-tests.c | 24 ++ tests/qtest/migration/misc-tests.c | 52 ---- 17 files changed, 511 insertions(+), 143 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/devel/migration/fast-snapshot-load.rst -- 2.55.0
Modernize error handling in postcopy_ram_incoming_setup() and postcopy_temp_pages_setup() by replacing error_reports and local error handling with standard Error propagation. Replace use of strerror() on errno with error_setg_errno() for modular handling of errors and change return values to -1 on failure as no caller checks the actual return value.

Replace the temporary bitmap with the existing file_bmap attribute of the RAMBlock. This acts as a preparatory change for the upcoming fast snapshot load feature. Reusing this bitmap allows the destination to track page types during a postcopy load, enabling faster, direct placement of zero pages. Since file_bmap is currently only utilized during the migration save phase, it can be safely repurposed during the load phase without introducing conflicts.

Remove the internal QEMUFile error state modification from qemu_get_buffer_at(). This function is called by two functions, both of which already check for unexpected return values and handle their own error reporting. Removing this shared state modification makes qemu_get_buffer_at() strictly thread-safe for concurrent disk reads, serving as a preparatory change for the upcoming fast snapshot load feature. Removed local error by passing errp to improve on error handling, consequently also change caller to use error_prevent and not error_setg.

In fast snapshot load, we would like to serve faults as soon as possible hence loading pages directly instead of requesting a source Add postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page() function which serves single page fault by reading the snapshot file. It uses bitmap_test_and_clear_atomic on pending_bmap to coordinate between threads so each page is loaded exactly once. Non-zero pages are read using qemu_get_buffer_at into a temporary page (for loading page atomically), which is then placed using postcopy_place_page. Zero pages are placed directly using postcopy_place_page_zero. Update postcopy_ram_fault_thread to call postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page instead of requesting source in case of fast snapshot load. to_src_file check is bypassed in fast snapshot load case as there is no source. Call try_mark_postcopy_blocktime_begin on every page fault to support postcopy-blocktime. Allocate another channel in postcopy_temp_pages_setup(like the preempt case), for both the fault thread and eager thread to load pages independently. Add function ramblock_file_bitmap_page_is_nonzero() which searches a range of bits corresponding to a page for a set bit. This is just a bit check for normal pages but for hugepages it checks the range to see if any part of page is non zero.

In fast snapshot load a thread is needed for actively loading in pages along with the fault path so that the guest is not dependent on fault thread indefinitely. Considering the difference from usual network postcopy where major chunk of RAM is already loaded here entire RAM needs to be loaded later. Existance of background pages which are not really accessed by the guest might never be loaded and system will be locked in migration for indefinite time. As there should be no assumption about how guest accesses memory, the load times can be indefinite. Add postcopy_ram_eager_load_thread(), for the eager thread which iterates over all non ignored blocks calling ram_block_load_eager() on each. ram_block_load_eager then iterates to load in all pages using postcopy_mapped_ram_load_page(), with a different channel, which takes care of not loading in pages already loaded by fault thread. On completion the thread schedules postcopy_incoming_complete_bh() to destroy the incoming migration state. Add postcopy_ram_eager_load_setup() to create the thread. Added joining logic in postcopy_incoming_cleanup(). Add tracepoints for entry and exit to eager load thread. When both mapped-ram and postcopy-ram are set, divert from qemu_loadvm_state to run fast snapshot load Initialize postcopy RAM state and register RAM Blocks with userfaultfd via ram_postcopy_incoming_init() and postcopy_ram_incoming_setup() in process_incoming_migration_co(). Fault thread needs to be launched before VM to serve faults for some hardwares emulation that need to read RAM (like vapic devices). Populate bitmaps and offset tables while reading file in qemu_loadvm_state_main. Add function qemu_loadvm_run_fast_snapshot_load() which starts the VM using loadvm_postcopy_handle_run_bh() and launches eager load thread. Skip scheduling process_incoming_migration_bh() in process_incoming_migration_co(), for fast snapshot load as the state cleanup is managed by eager load thread on completion.

Remove the test test_validate_caps_pair, which asserted postcopy-ram and mapped-ram capabilities cannot be active together. The new fast snapshot load feature is exactly this pair of capabilities active together, with the following patches in this series, this combination will now supported and be functional. Remove the capability check that rejected mapped-ram and postcopy-ram being set simultaneously, as this combination now corresponds to fast snapshot load. Add a capability check against setting multifd when configured for fast snapshot load as it is not supported yet. Also add capability check against setting postcopy-preempt as it is incompatible. A smoke test exercising this feature has been added further in this series.

Add test_postcopy_file_mapped_ram() to test for saving a snapshot in mapped ram format and loading it using postcopy/fast snapshot load. Test is similar to test_precopy_file_mapped_ram() with additional start_hook to set postcopy capabilities on the receiving end.

The idea is to start the guest and serve its page faults on +the go, reducing the perceived resume time for large snapshots. + +Architecture +============ +This feature combines postcopy migration and mapped-ram capabilities +to load RAM pages on demand. It is done by catching guest faults using +Linux ``userfaultfd`` and loading the page by calculating the offset +of its location in the snapshot file using mapped-ram capabilities. + +Fault Thread +------------ +The fault thread uses Linux ``userfaultfd`` to catch page faults caused +by guest and directly load the page from the snapshot file. It is +very similar to network postcopy fault thread, with primary difference +being it loads pages directly by reading from the snapshot file. + +Eager Thread +------------ +Eager thread iterates over all pages in RAM and loads each page not +yet loaded by fault thread. It is required as unlike network postcopy +where majority of RAM has already been loaded via precopy, here entire +RAM is waiting to be loaded. If there is no eager loading thread each +page will only be loaded when it is required by guest. In case there +are some background pages that are never/rarely accessed by guest, +the system will be locked in migration state indefinitely. + +Synchronization +--------------- +In order to make sure both of these threads do not load the same page +twice potentially overwriting and corrupting user RAM, a bitmap is +used (``RAMBlock->pending_bmap``) which tracks the pages claimed to +be loaded by threads. This prevents race condition when one thread +is loading the page and other one tries to do the same. + +Usage +===== + +Simply enable ``mapped-ram`` and ``postcopy-ram`` capabilities on +the destination: + +.. code-block:: text + + migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on + migrate_set_capability postcopy-ram on + +Use a ``file:`` URI for migration: + +.. code-block:: text + + migrate_incoming file:/path/to/snapshot/file + +Limitations +=========== + + - Multifd + Fast snapshot load is currently incompatible with ``multifd`` + capability.
