The fixed-ram migration can be performed live or non-live, but it is
always asynchronous, i.e. the source machine and the destination
machine are not migrating at the same time. We only need some pieces
of the multifd sync operations.
multifd_send_sync_main()
------------------------
Issued by the ram migration code on the migration thread, causes the
multifd send channels to synchronize with the migration thread and
makes the sending side emit a packet with the MULTIFD_FLUSH flag.
With fixed-ram we want to maintain the sync on the sending side
because that provides ordering between the rounds of dirty pages when
migrating live.
MULTIFD_FLUSH
-------------
On the receiving side, the presence of the MULTIFD_FLUSH flag on a
packet causes the receiving channels to start synchronizing with the
main thread.
We're not using packets with fixed-ram, so there's no MULTIFD_FLUSH
flag and therefore no channel sync on the receiving side.
multifd_recv_sync_main()
------------------------
Issued by the migration thread when the ram migration flag
RAM_SAVE_FLAG_MULTIFD_FLUSH is received, causes the migration thread
on the receiving side to start synchronizing with the recv
channels. Due to compatibility, this is also issued when
RAM_SAVE_FLAG_EOS is received.
For fixed-ram we only need to synchronize the channels at the end of
migration to avoid doing cleanup before the channels have finished
their IO.
Make sure the multifd syncs are only issued at the appropriate
times. Note that due to pre-existing backward compatibility issues, we
have the multifd_flush_after_each_section property that enables an
older behavior of synchronizing channels more frequently (and
inefficiently). Fixed-ram should always run with that property
disabled (default).
