Hi~ Jason and Hailiang.

I will send a patch set later about colo-compare notify mechanism for
Xen like this patch.
I want to add a new chardev socket way in colo-comapre connect to Xen
colo, for notify
checkpoint or failover, Because We have no choice to use this way
communicate with Xen codes.
That's means we will have two notify mechanism.
What do you think about this?


Thanks
Zhang Chen
I was thinking the possibility of using similar way to for colo compare.
E.g can we use socket? This can saves duplicated codes more or less.
Since there are too many sockets used by filter and COLO, (Two unix
sockets and two
  tcp sockets for each vNIC), I don't want to introduce more ;) , but
i'm not sure if it is
possible to make it more flexible and optional, abstract these
duplicated codes,
pass the opened fd (No matter eventfd or socket fd ) as parameter, for
example.
Is this way acceptable ?

Thanks,
Hailiang
Yes, that's kind of what I want. We don't want to use two message
format. Passing a opened fd need management support, we still need a
fallback if there's no management on top. For qemu/kvm, we can do all
stuffs transparent to the cli by e.g socketpair() or others, but the key
is to have a unified message format.

After a deeper investigation, i think we can re-use most codes, since there is no existing way to notify xen (no ?), we still needs notify chardev socket (Be used to notify xen, it is optional.) (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/733431/ "COLO-compare: Add Xen notify chardev socket handler frame")

Besides, there is an existing qmp comand 'xen-colo-do-checkpoint', we can re-use it to notify colo-compare objects and other filter objects to do checkpoint, for the opposite direction, we use
the notify chardev socket (Only for xen).

So the codes will be like:

How about this scenario ?

I agree this way, maybe rename qmp_xen_colo_do_checkpoint()
to qmp_remote_colo_do_checkpoint() is more generic.
