I've been thinking about how best to add migration to vfio-ccw; it might be quite different from what we do for vfio-pci, but I hope that we can still use some common infrastructure. Basically, we probably need something like the following: - Wait until outstanding channel programs are finished, and don't allow new ones. Don't report back to userspace (or maybe do; we just don't want to fence of too many new requests.) - Collect subchannel and related state, copy it over. That probably fits in with the interface you're proposing. - Re-setup on the other side and get going again. The problem here might be state that the vfio-ccw driver can't be aware of (like replaying storage server configurations). Maybe we can send CRWs (notifications) to the guest and leverage the existing suspend/resume driver code for channel devices. For vfio-ap, I frankly have no idea how migration will work, given the setup with the matrix device and the interesting information in the SIE control blocks (but maybe it just can replay from the info in the matrix device?) Keys etc. are likely to be the bigger problem here.

Ideally, this should be transparent for the guest for live migration. Guest shouldn't see any functional change during live migration.

If there is, can you point out? btw how is this work related to previous effort on adding live migration to VFIO? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-04/msg01134.html https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/libvir/msg170669.html Thanks Kevin
Add migration support for VFIO device This Patch set include patches as below: - Define KABI for VFIO device for migration support. - Generic migration functionality for VFIO device. * This patch set adds functionality only for PCI devices, but can be extended to other VFIO devices. * Added all the basic functions required for pre-copy, stop-and-copy and resume phases of migration. * Added state change notifier and from that notifier function, VFIO device's state changed is conveyed to VFIO vendor driver. * During save setup phase and resume/load setup phase, migration region is queried from vendor driver and is mmaped by QEMU. This region is used to read/write data from and to vendor driver. * .save_live_pending, .save_live_iterate and .is_active_iterate are implemented to use QEMU's functionality of iteration during pre-copy phase. * In .save_live_complete_precopy, that is in stop-and-copy phase, iteration to read data from vendor driver is implemented till pending bytes returned by vendor driver are not zero. * .save_cleanup and .load_cleanup are implemented to unmap migration region that was setup duing setup phase. * Added function to get dirty pages bitmap from vendor driver. - Add vfio_listerner_log_sync to mark dirty pages. - Make VFIO PCI device migration capable. Thanks, Kirti Kirti Wankhede (4): VFIO KABI for migration interface Add migration functions for VFIO devices Add vfio_listerner_log_sync to mark dirty pages Make vfio-pci device migration capable. hw/vfio/Makefile.objs | 2 +- hw/vfio/common.c | 32 ++ hw/vfio/migration.c | 716 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ hw/vfio/pci.c | 13 +- include/hw/vfio/vfio-common.h | 23 ++ linux-headers/linux/vfio.h | 91 ++++++ 6 files changed, 869 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 hw/vfio/migration.c
