[pve-devel] [PATCH guest-common/qemu-server/manager/docs v5 0/3] implement experimental vgpu live migration

[Dominik Csapak]

and some useful cleanups

This is implemented for mapped resources. This requires driver and
hardware support, but aside from nvidia vgpus there don't seem to be
many drivers (if any) that do support that.

qemu already supports that for vfio-pci devices, so nothing to be
done there besides actively enabling it.

Since we currently can't properly test it here and very much depends on
hardware/driver support, mark it as experimental everywhere (docs/api/gui).
(though i tested the live-migration part manually here by using
"exec:cat > /tmp/test" for the migration target, and "exec: cat
/tmp/test" as the 'incoming' parameter for a new vm start, which worked ;) )

i opted for marking them migratable at the mapping level, but we could
theoretically also put it in the hostpciX config instead.
(though imho it fits better in the cluster-wide resource mapping config)

also the naming/texts could probably be improved, but i think
'live-migration-capable' is very descriptive and i didn't want to
use an overly short name for it (which can be confusing, see the
'shared' flag for storages)

should mostly be the same as v4 functionality/code-wise but still a bit
changed due to the recent nvidia changes from our side, so probably
warrants a bit of a closer look in any case

changes from v4:
* rebased on master (some work due to the recent nvidia changes)
* incorporated thomas/alexanders feedback from v4

changes from v3:
* rebased on master
* split first guest-common patch into 3
* instead of merging keys, just write all expected keys in to expected_props
* made $cfg optional so it does not break callers that don't call it
* added patch to fix the cfg2cmd tests for mdev check
* added patch to show vfio state transferred for migration
* incorporated fionas feedback (mostly minor stuff)

for more details see the individual patches

changes from v2:
* rebased on master
* rework the rework of the properties check (pve-guest-common 1/4)
* properly check mdev in the gui (pve-manager 1/5)

manager patches depend on pve-guest-common/qemu-server patches
qemu-server depends on pve-guest-common patches

guest-common 3/3 breaks older qemu-server version before applying
qemu-server patches 1&2
