Description yanbing du 2013-02-27 07:07:19 UTC

Description of problem:
Virsh dump --verbose option can display the progress of dump, but if do memory-only dump, the progress of dump will only show up when dump finish(100%). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6.x86_64 

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# virsh dump vm1 /tmp/vm1.core --verbose
Dump: [ 40 %]
Dump: [ 67 %]
Dump: [ 78 %]
Dump: [ 91 %]
Dump: [100 %]
Domain vm1 dumped to /tmp/vm1.core

#virsh dump vm1 /tmp/vm1.core --memory-only --verbose

Dump: [100 %]
Domain vm1 dumped to /tmp/vm1.core 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Dump progress only show up when memory-only dump finish. 

Expected results:
Dump progress will display in time during memory-only dump.

    qemu: Allow showing the dump progress for memory only dump
    
...
    
    If the QEMU version running is new enough (based on the DUMP_COMPLETED
    event), then we can add a 'detach' boolean to the dump-guest-memory
    command in order to tell QEMU to run in a thread. This ensures that we
    don't lock out other commands while the potentially long running dump
    memory is completed.
    
    This allows the usage of a qemuDumpWaitForCompletion which will wait
    for the event while the qemuDomainGetJobInfoDumpStats can be used via
    qemuDomainGetJobInfo in order to query QEMU to determine how far along
    the job is.
    
    Now that we have a true async job, we'll only set the dump_memory_only
    flag only when @detach=false; otherwise, we note that the job is a
    for stats dump this allows the opposite end for job info to determine
    what to copy.

Dump: [ 93 %]
Dump: [100 %]
Domain rhel7 dumped to /tmp/rhel7.core

# virsh domjobinfo rhel7
