[PATCH 00/11] virtio: Support for hibernation (S4)

From: Amit Shah
Date: Thu Sep 29 2011 - 11:26:24 EST


Hello,

These patches add support for S4 to virtio (pci) and all drivers. The
patches are based on the virtio-console patch series in Rusty's queue.

For each driver, all vqs are removed before hibernation, and then
re-created after restore.

All the drivers in testing work fine:

* virtio-blk is used for the only disk in the VM, IO works fine before
and after.

* virtio-console: port IO keeps working fine before and after.
* If a port is waiting for data from the host (blocking read(2)
call), this works fine in both the cases: host-side connection is
available or unavailable after resume. In case the host-side
connection isn't available, the blocking call is terminated. If
it is available, the call continues to remain in blocked state
till further data arrives.

* virtio-net: ping remains active across S4. One packet is lost.
(Current qemu.git has a regression in slirp code causing qemu
segfault, commit 1ab74cea060 is the offender).

* virtio-balloon: Works fine before and after. Forgets the ballooned
value across S4. If it's desirable to maintain the ballooned value,
a new config option can be created to do this.

All in all, this looks pretty good.

Please review and apply.
