[v2,07/18] COLO: Load dirty pages into SVM's RAM cache firstly

Commit Message

Zhanghailiang April 22, 2017, 8:25 a.m. UTC

We should not load PVM's state directly into SVM, because there maybe some
errors happen when SVM is receving data, which will break SVM.

We need to ensure receving all data before load the state into SVM. We use
an extra memory to cache these data (PVM's ram). The ram cache in secondary side
is initially the same as SVM/PVM's memory. And in the process of checkpoint,
we cache the dirty pages of PVM into this ram cache firstly, so this ram cache
always the same as PVM's memory at every checkpoint, then we flush this cached ram
to SVM after we receive all PVM's state.

v2:
- Move colo_init_ram_cache() and colo_release_ram_cache() out of
  incoming thread since both of them need the global lock, if we keep
  colo_release_ram_cache() in incoming thread, there are potential
  dead-lock.
- Remove bool ram_cache_enable flag, use migration_incoming_in_state() instead.
- Remove the Reviewd-by tag because of the above changes.
