Background Snapshots in QEMU: Towards Asynchronous Revert - Denis Lunev, Virtuozzo

Background snapshots is a new feature in QEMU-6.0 designed to allow making snapshots on a live VM without need for dirty page tracking. It makes possible to capture machine state at the time the snapshot operation was initiated while keeping VM running. However making snapshot loading asynchronous is not a trivial task. This talk covers some technical complications that need to be resolved: - Container for snapshot data, how to address RAM pages? - Open-coded migration handlers in QEMU, can we re-use them? - Write buffering, is writeback cache a good choice? - Making revert really live, what's good tradeoff between speed and fault-in latency? - How to split snapshot loading into stages? Is it enough to have precopy and postcopy?
