Hi again,
after looking at this for a while, I think it might be cleaner to
store the state in the TYPE_SCLP_CPI device instead of storing it in
the machine state. Then you can also use dc->vmsd there instead of
using the legacy vmstate_register_any() function.
Hello Thomas,
The SCLP event type CPI is used to transfer the data mentioned below
from guest operating system to QEMU. The job of the CPI event is
complete, when this transfer is done.
The received data must be saved in the QEMU object model, so that it
is possible for the user to retrieve the data via QMP. The received
data provides information about the guest virtual machine.
System type - Operating system of the guest (eg: LINUX)
System name - Hostname provided to the guest (eg: TESTVM)
System level - Kernel version of the guest operating system (eg:
0x50e00)
Sysplex name - Sysplex refers to a cluster of logical partitions that
communicates and co-operates with each other. Sysplex name is the name
of the cluster which the guest belongs to(If any).(eg: PLEX)
In my perspective, I believe that the s390 machine state is
appropriate for storing the data about the guest virtual machine.
Please do let me know if you still want to change this?, thank you.
Hi Shalini,
yes, please change this patch to put the migration state into the
SCLP_CPI device.
vmstate_register_any() is a legacy function, see its description in
include/migration/vmstate.h ... so if anyhow possible, this should be
avoided in new code.
You introduced a new device in patch 2 which will be handling the
related data. Devices are the right place for storing migration data
in new QEMU code, so I think this really should go into dc->vmsd of
TYPE_SCLP_CPI.
For retrieving the information, the user should then just get the
property from /machine/sclp/s390-sclp-event-facility/sclpcpi instead
of /machine. This should be fine since it is a well-defined location,
too.
Good Morning Thomas,
Thank you very much for the explanation. I will change this.
Thanks!
Thomas
