1be5c7
Since d48c3a0445 ("multifd: Use a single writev on the send side"),
1be5c7
sending the header packet and the memory pages happens in the same
1be5c7
writev, which can potentially make the migration faster.
1be5c7
1be5c7
Using channel-socket as example, this works well with the default copying
1be5c7
mechanism of sendmsg(), but with zero-copy-send=true, it will cause
1be5c7
the migration to often break.
1be5c7
1be5c7
This happens because the header packet buffer gets reused quite often,
1be5c7
and there is a high chance that by the time the MSG_ZEROCOPY mechanism get
1be5c7
to send the buffer, it has already changed, sending the wrong data and
1be5c7
causing the migration to abort.
1be5c7
1be5c7
It means that, as it is, the buffer for the header packet is not suitable
1be5c7
for sending with MSG_ZEROCOPY.
1be5c7
1be5c7
In order to enable zero copy for multifd, send the header packet on an
1be5c7
individual write(), without any flags, and the remanining pages with a
1be5c7
writev(), as it was happening before. This only changes how a migration
1be5c7
with zero-copy-send=true works, not changing any current behavior for
1be5c7
migrations with zero-copy-send=false.
