Currently, we use migrate to dump guest's memory. There is one
restriction in migrate command: the device's status should be
stored in qemu because the device's status should be passed to
target machine.
If we passthrough a host device to guest, the device's status
is stored in the real device. So migrate command will fail.
We usually use dump when guest is panicked. So there is no need
to store device's status in the vmcore.
qemu will have a new monitor command dump-guest-memory to dump
guest memory, but it doesn't support async now(it will support
later when the common async API is implemented).
So I use dump-guest-memory only when the guest uses host device
in this patchset.
Note: the patchset for qemu is still queued. Luiz has acked,
but he waits an ACK from Jan and/or Anthony. They are too busy,
and donot reply.
Changes from v2 to v3:
1. qemu supports the fd that is associated with a pipe, socket, or FIFO.
So pass a pipe fd to qemu and O_DIRECT can work now.
Change from v1 to v2:
1. remove the implemention for text mode.

Hmm, doesn't the new command generate dump files in a totally

think it is nice behaviour to silently switch between 2 different
dump formats depending on the XML config. I think we'd want some
kind of flag to specify what format is desired.

Agree with it. But the new command is not a async command, and it
will block the other operation. So I only use it when the vm uses
host device(migrate command will fail in this case).
The new command will be converted to async command later(after
async API is implemented). I think we can allow the user specify
the format when the new command is async command.
Thanks

the format when the new command is async command.
You missed the point. We need 2 flags - one now that says whether to
dump via migrate-to-file or via dumping memory (I'd name it
VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_MEMORY_ONLY), and another flag later to state
whether to block the dump or whether to do the dump asynchronously
(similar to the recent block-job-cancel conversion, I'd name it
VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_ASYNC).
In other words, the user should be able to choose which format they get,
for 3 of the 4 combinations of user's XML vs. available qemu commands:
hostdev no hostdev
flag = 0 error migrate-to-file
flag = MEMORY_ONLY dump-guest-memory dump-guest-memory
and the choice of async or blocking is orthogonal to the above choice.
