question about dominfo.completeRestore()
hi
I read the code of restore() in checkpoint.py for paravirt
and restore() calls for the dominfo.completeRestore(),which call
_registerWatches(), and then call refreshShutdown(),
and in refreshShutdown(),if elif xeninfo['shutdown']: and if
reason == 'suspend' ,self._unwatchVM()will be called ,

if reason == 'suspend':
self._stateSet(DOM_STATE_SUSPENDED)
# Don't destroy the domain. XendCheckpoint will do
# this once it has finished. However, stop watching
# the VM path now, otherwise we will end up with one
# watch for the old domain, and one for the new.
self._unwatchVm()

and then ,why do we call _registerWatches() before refreshShutdown(),i
am confused about it,
and what is the function of dominfo.completeRestore()? it
introducedomain(),and storeDomDetails() and registerWatches()and
,refreshShutdown(),and why should it refreshShutdown()?and is it that in
refreshShutdown(),the old domain is cleaned and destoryed, or the new
domain is dealt with? i am confused

and the code of save() in the checkpoint.py, how does the
saveInputHandler synchronize with the XC_SAVE ? how many times do they
synchronize with each other? only ,XC_SAVE sends "suspend" to
saveInputHandler, and then saveInputHandler send "done" to XC_SAVE
,is it right?

def saveInputHandler(line, tochild):
log.debug("In saveInputHandler %s", line)
if line == "suspend":
log.debug("Suspending %d ...", dominfo.getDomid())
dominfo.shutdown('suspend')
dominfo.waitForShutdown()
dominfo.migrateDevices(network, dst,
DEV_MIGRATE_STEP2,domain_name)
log.info("Domain %d suspended.", dominfo.getDomid())
dominfo.migrateDevices(network, dst,
DEV_MIGRATE_STEP3,domain_name)
#send signal to device model for save
if hvm:
log.info("release_devices for hvm domain")
dominfo._releaseDevices(True)
tochild.write("done\n")
tochild.flush()
log.debug('Written done')

and how many times does XC_SAVE synchronize with Handler, i read the
code , and just find only one time ,is it right?
and what is the function of the dominfo.migrateDevices with
DEV_MIGRATE_STEP2 and DEV_MIGRATE_STEP3, i read the code ,but still
confused, does it put the information of the devices into the
checkpoint file , or what?
and how does xen deal with the requests of devices in the ring and gnttb
and backend ,how does it store them? i have not find the code to deal
with it?


could you help me

Thanks in advance
