cpr-transfer mode
-----------------
This mode allows the user to transfer a guest to a new QEMU instance
on the same host with minimal guest pause time, by preserving guest
RAM in place, albeit with new virtual addresses in new QEMU. Devices
and their pinned memory pages will also be preserved in a future QEMU
release.
The user starts new QEMU on the same host as old QEMU, with command-
line arguments to create the same machine, plus the ``-incoming``
option for the main migration channel, like normal live migration.
In addition, the user adds a second -incoming option with channel
type ``cpr``. This CPR channel must support file descriptor transfer
with SCM_RIGHTS, i.e. it must be a UNIX domain socket.
To initiate CPR, the user issues a migrate command to old QEMU,
adding a second migration channel of type ``cpr`` in the channels
argument. Old QEMU stops the VM, saves state to the migration
channels, and enters the postmigrate state. Execution resumes in
new QEMU.
New QEMU reads the CPR channel before opening a monitor, hence
the CPR channel cannot be specified in the list of channels for a
migrate-incoming command. It may only be specified on the command
line.
Usage
^^^^^
Memory backend objects must have the ``share=on`` attribute.
The VM must be started with the ``-machine aux-ram-share=on``
option. This causes implicit RAM blocks (those not described by
a memory-backend object) to be allocated by mmap'ing a memfd.
Examples include VGA and ROM.
Outgoing:
* Set the migration mode parameter to ``cpr-transfer``.
* Issue the ``migrate`` command, containing a main channel and
a cpr channel.
Incoming:
* Start new QEMU with two ``-incoming`` options.
* If the VM was running when the outgoing ``migrate`` command was
issued, then QEMU automatically resumes VM execution.
Caveats
^^^^^^^
cpr-transfer mode may not be used with postcopy, background-snapshot,
or COLO.
memory-backend-epc is not supported.
The main incoming migration channel address cannot be a file type.
If the main incoming channel address is an inet socket, then the port
cannot be 0 (meaning dynamically choose a port).
When using ``-incoming defer``, you must issue the migrate command to
old QEMU before issuing any monitor commands to new QEMU, because new
QEMU blocks waiting to read from the cpr channel before starting its
monitor, and old QEMU does not write to the channel until the migrate
command is issued. However, new QEMU does not open and read the
main migration channel until you issue the migrate incoming command.
Example 1: incoming channel
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In these examples, we simply restart the same version of QEMU, but
in a real scenario one would start new QEMU on the incoming side.
Note that new QEMU does not print the monitor prompt until old QEMU
has issued the migrate command. The outgoing side uses QMP because
HMP cannot specify a CPR channel. Some QMP responses are omitted for
brevity.

Example 2: incoming defer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This example uses ``-incoming defer`` to hot plug a device before
accepting the main migration channel. Again note you must issue the
migrate command to old QEMU before you can issue any monitor
commands to new QEMU.

Futures
^^^^^^^
cpr-transfer mode is based on a capability to transfer open file
descriptors from old to new QEMU. In the future, descriptors for
vfio, iommufd, vhost, and char devices could be transferred,
preserving those devices and their kernel state without interruption,
even if they do not explicitly support live migration.
