[RFC v16][PATCH 05/43] c/r: basic infrastructure for checkpoint/restart

Oren Laadan orenl at cs.columbia.edu
Wed May 27 10:32:31 PDT 2009


Add those interfaces, as well as helpers needed to easily manage the
file format. The code is roughly broken out as follows:

checkpoint/sys.c - user/kernel data transfer, as well as setup of the
  c/r context (a per-checkpoint data structure for housekeeping)

checkpoint/checkpoint.c - output wrappers and basic checkpoint handling

checkpoint/restart.c - input wrappers and basic restart handling

checkpoint/process.c - c/r of task data

For now, we can only checkpoint the 'current' task ("self" checkpoint),
and the 'pid' argument to the syscall is ignored.

Patches to add the per-architecture support as well as the actual
work to do the memory checkpoint follow in subsequent patches.

Changelog[v16]:
  - Split ctx->flags to ->uflags (user flags) and ->kflags (kernel flags)
  - Introduce __ckpt_write_err() and ckpt_write_err() to report errors
  - Allow @ptr == NULL to write (or read) header only without payload
  _ Introduce _ckpt_read_obj_type()

Changelog[v15]:
  - Replace header buffer in ckpt_ctx (hbuf,hpos) with kmalloc/kfree()

Changelog[v14]:
  - Cleanup interface to get/put hdr buffers
  - Merge checkpoint and restart code into a single file (per subsystem)
  - Take uts_sem around access to uts->{release,version,machine}
  - Embed ckpt_hdr in all ckpt_hdr_...., cleanup read/write helpers
  - Define sys_checkpoint(0,...) as asking for a self-checkpoint (Serge)
  - Revert use of 'pr_fmt' to avoid tainting whom includes us (Nathan Lynch)
  - Explicitly indicate length of UTS fields in header
  - Discard field 'h->parent' from ckpt_hdr

Changelog[v12]:
  - ckpt_kwrite/ckpt_kread() again use vfs_read(), vfs_write() (safer)
  - Split ckpt_write/ckpt_read() to two parts: _ckpt_write/read() helper
  - Befriend with sparse : explicit conversion to 'void __user *'
  - Redfine 'pr_fmt' instead of using special ckpt_debug()

Changelog[v10]:
  - add ckpt_write_buffer(), ckpt_read_buffer() and ckpt_read_buf_type()
  - force end-of-string in ckpt_read_string() (fix possible DoS)

Changelog[v9]:
  - ckpt_kwrite/ckpt_kread() use file->f_op->write() directly
  - Drop ckpt_uwrite/ckpt_uread() since they aren't used anywhere

Changelog[v6]:
  - Balance all calls to ckpt_hbuf_get() with matching ckpt_hbuf_put()
    (although it's not really needed)

Changelog[v5]:
  - Rename headers files s/ckpt/checkpoint/

Changelog[v2]:
  - Added utsname->{release,version,machine} to checkpoint header
  - Pad header structures to 64 bits to ensure compatibility
