You can get the detailed information about block replication from here:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/BlockReplication

Usage:
Please refer to docs/block-replication.txt

This patch series is based on the following patch series:
1. http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-12/msg04570.html

Patch status:
1. Acked patches: none
2. Reviewed patches: patch 4
3. Updated patches: patch 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
Note: patch 7 is a new patch that introduces genernal start/stop/checkpoint/
get_error
APIs.

TODO:
1. Continuous block replication. It will be started after basic functions
are accepted.

Changs Log:
V15:
1. Rebase to the newest codes
2. Fix typos and coding style addresed Eric's comments
3. Address Stefan's comments
1) Make backup_do_checkpoint public, drop the changes on BlockJobDriver
2) Update the message and description for [PATCH 4/9]
3) Make replication_(start/stop/do_checkpoint)_all as global interfaces
4) Introduce AioContext lock to protect start/stop/do_checkpoint callbacks
5) Use BdrvChild instead of holding on to BlockDriverState * pointers
4. Clear BDRV_O_INACTIVE for hidden disk's open_flags since commit 09e0c771
5. Introduce replication_get_error_all to check replication status
6. Remove useless discard interface
V14:
1. Implement auto complete active commit
2. Implement active commit block job for replication.c
3. Address the comments from Stefan, add replication-specific API and data
structure, also remove old block layer APIs
V13:
1. Rebase to the newest codes
2. Remove redundant marcos and semicolon in replication.c
3. Fix typos in block-replication.txt
V12:
1. Rebase to the newest codes
2. Use backing reference to replcace 'allow-write-backing-file'
V11:
1. Reopen the backing file when starting blcok replication if it is not
opened in R/W mode
2. Unblock BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP_SOURCE and BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP_TARGET
when opening backing file
3. Block the top BDS so there is only one block job for the top BDS and
its backing chain.
V10:
1. Use blockdev-remove-medium and blockdev-insert-medium to replace backing
reference.
2. Address the comments from Eric Blake
V9:
1. Update the error messages
2. Rebase to the newest qemu
3. Split child add/delete support. These patches are sent in another patchset.
V8:
1. Address Alberto Garcia's comments
V7:
1. Implement adding/removing quorum child. Remove the option non-connect.
2. Simplify the backing refrence option according to Stefan Hajnoczi's 
suggestion
V6:
1. Rebase to the newest qemu.
V5:
1. Address the comments from Gong Lei
2. Speed the failover up. The secondary vm can take over very quickly even
if there are too many I/O requests.
V4:
1. Introduce a new driver replication to avoid touch nbd and qcow2.
V3:
1: use error_setg() instead of error_set()
2. Add a new block job API
3. Active disk, hidden disk and nbd target uses the same AioContext
4. Add a testcase to test new hbitmap API
V2:
1. Redesign the secondary qemu(use image-fleecing)
2. Use Error objects to return error message
3. Address the comments from Max Reitz and Eric Blake

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v15 0/9] Block replication for continuous checkpoints

2016-02-17 Thread Hailiang Zhang

ping...

COLO prototype is based on this series, but it seems that this
series didn't got enough reviewing and feedback, we will miss
the train of qemu 2.6 version :(
Since COLO is still a prototype, some problems could be fixed in
later developing, and we hope COLO prototype to be merged as quickly
as possible, could you please speed up the process of reviewing ?

Thanks,
Hailiang
