In order to support freeing the memory that is allocated we need to make
sure that we update the internal representation so that free_bars() can
correctly free the memory if the device has its BARs moved.

Move the release of the managed memory region from the DeviceManager to

the device is unplugged which will lead to it being Drop()ed.

By implementing queues_per_thread(), this patch fills the last missing
bit to enable multithreaded multiqueue support for the vhost-user-net
backend implementation.

By adding a "thread_id" parameter to handle_event(), the backend crate
can now indicate to the backend implementation which thread triggered
the processing of some events.
This is applied to vhost-user-net backend and allows for simplifying a
lot the code since each thread is identical.

By adding the "thread_index" parameter to the function exit_event() from

In order to prepare for the support of multithreaded multiqueues, the
structure VhostUserNetThread is simplified to hold only one RX queue,
one TX queue, and one TAP interface.
Following this change, VhostUserNetBackend now holds a list of threads
instead of going through each thread to handle multiqueues.
These changes decouple neatly the abstraction between the backend and
each thread. This allows for a lot of simplification since we now know
all threads are identical, hence the handling of events becomes very
straightforward.
One important point is that each thread can be locked when in use,
without causing any contention with other threads since the backend
doesn't need to be locked anymore.

In order to support multiqueues running on multiple threads for
increasing the IO performances, this commit introduces a new function
queues_per_thread() to the VhostUserBackend trait.

queues belong to which thread.

By changing the mutability of this function, after adapting all
backends, we should be able to implement multithreads with
multiqueues support without hitting a bottleneck on the backend
locking.

Both blk, net and fs backends have been updated to avoid the requirement
of having handle_event(&mut self). This will allow the backend crate to
avoid taking a write lock onto the backend object, which will remove the
potential contention point when multiple threads will be handling
multiqueues.

When performing an API boot validate the configuration. For now only
some very basic validation is performed but in subsequent commits
the validation will be extended.
Signed-off-by: Rob Bradford <robert.bradford@intel.com>
The configuration comes from a variety of places (commandline, REST API
and restore) however some validation was only happening on the command
line parsing path. Therefore introduce a new ability to validate the
configuration before proceeding so that this can be used for commandline
and API boots.
For now move just the console and serial output mode validation under
the new validation API.

Now that the restore path uses RestoreConfig structure, we add a new

When CoW can be used, the VM restoration time is reduced, but the pages
are not populated. This can lead to some slowness from the guest when
accessing these pages.
Depending on the use case, we might prefer a slower boot time for better
performances from guest runtime. The way to achieve this is to prefault
the pages in this case, using the MAP_POPULATE flag along with CoW.

This patch extends the previous behavior on the restore codepath.
Instead of copying the memory regions content from the snapshot files
into the new memory regions, the VMM will use the snapshot region files
as the backing files behind each mapped region. This is done in order to
reduce the time for the VM to be restored.
When the source VM has been initially started with a backing file, this
means it has been mapped with the MAP_SHARED flag. For this case, we
cannot use the CoW trick to speed up the VM restore path and we simply
fallback onto the copy of the memory regions content.

Whenever a MemoryManager is restored from a snapshot, the memory regions
associated with it might need to directly back the mapped memory for
increased performances. If that's the case, a list of external regions
is provided and the MemoryManager should simply ignore what's coming
from the MemoryConfig.

The MemoryManager is somehow a special case, as its restore() function
was not implemented as part of the Snapshottable trait. Instead, and
because restoring memory regions rely both on vm.json and every memory
region snapshot file, the memory manager is restored at creation time.
This makes the restore path slightly different from CpuManager, Vcpu,
DeviceManager and Vm, but achieve the correct restoration of the
MemoryManager along with its memory regions filled with the correct
content.
