Features and functionality of cloud hypervisor - AmpereComputing/ampere-lts-kernel---DEPRECATED GitHub Wiki

VM snapshot and restore

TBD: https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/blob/main/docs/snapshot_restore.md

Kata container with cloud hypervisor

TBD: https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master/design/virtualization.md#cloud-hypervisorkvm

vCPU hotplug

Not ready for ARM64. Refer to: https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/linux/pull/13

All pass

  --cpus boot=4,topology=1:1:1:1
Error parsing config: Error validating configuration: Product of CPU topology parts does not match maximum vCPUs

  --cpus features=amx
Error parsing config: Invalid feature in --cpus features list: amx

All pass.

sudo ./ch-remote --api-socket /tmp/ch-socket3 resize --cpus 8
Error running command: Server responded with an error: InternalServerError: ApiError(VmResize(CpuManager(VcpuCreate(Failed to create Vcpu: Device or resource busy (os error 16)
sudo ./ch-remote --api-socket /tmp/ch-socket3 add-fs tag=myfs,socket=/tmp/virtiofs.sock

sudo ./ch-remote --api-socket /tmp/ch-socket3 add-net tap=chtap0
{"id":"_net2","bdf":"0000:00:05.0"}
但VM没有新增虚拟网卡

sudo ./ch-remote --api-socket /tmp/ch-socket3 add-pmem file=/tmp/ubuntu-cloudinit_2.img
{"id":"_pmem4","bdf":"0000:00:06.0"}
sudo ./ch-remote --api-socket /tmp/ch-socket3 add-vsock cid=3,socket=/tmp/vsock.sock
命令运行成功,但不知道在VM中如何验证
 --memory size=8G,hugepages=on 不识别hugepages=on,看help是支持的
Error booting VM: VmBoot(MemoryManager(SharedFileSetLen(Os { code: 22, kind: InvalidInput, message: "Invalid argument" })))

The following code returns SharedFileSetLen:

vmm/src/memory_manager.rs
f.set_len(size as u64).map_err(Error::SharedFileSetLen)?;
The size is 3154116608.

After modifying to the following configuration, the VM can be started normally.

--memory size=2G,hugepages=on
--cmdline "console=ttyS0 console=hvc0 root=/dev/vda1 rw hugepagesz=2M hugepages=512"
The size changes to 2147483648 for set_len.

No test case.

 --net ip=192.168.101.1
[  OK  ] Started Network Time Synchronization.
[  OK  ] Reached target System Time Set.
[  OK  ] Reached target System Time Synchronized.
It will be blocked for a few minutes to wait for the network.

The document require to run cloud-hypervisor in VM,but it return error:

这两条命令在VM中的内存总量是1.5G,其他的都是1G

Arm不支持sgx

All pass

Remember the VM is restored in a state, which was the VM's state when it was snapshot. For this reason, one must explicitly the VM before to start using it.pausedresume

./ch-remote --api-socket /tmp/cloud-hypervisor.sock resume

CH issue:VM starts failed when use parameter of vfio on Ampere Altra

确认/sys/bus/pci/devices/0003:04:00.0/下有多个文件
用 --device path=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0003:04:00.0/启动vm
Error booting VM: VmBoot(DeviceManager(VfioCreate(OpenGroup(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }, "44"))))

--device 'path=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0003\:04\:00.0/
Error booting VM: VmBoot(DeviceManager(VfioCreate(InvalidPath)))

Solution:

echo 0003:04:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0003\:04\:00.0/driver/unbind
echo 144d a808 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id
ls /dev/vfio/
46  vfio

New error:

cloud-hypervisor: 154.505510ms: <vmm> ERROR:/usr/local/rust/git/checkouts/vfio-3ea6ca0c73c7450b/ea8f710/crates/vfio-ioctls/src/vfio_device.rs:786 -- Could not get region #8 info
cloud-hypervisor: 294.621808ms: <vmm> ERROR:pci/src/vfio.rs:1527 -- Could not remove the userspace memory region: Failed to remove user memory: Invalid argument (os error 22)
Error booting VM: VmBoot(DeviceManager(VfioMapRegion(CreateUserMemoryRegion(CreateUserMemory(Invalid argument (os error 22))))))

Solution:

Modify config for host:
CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_48=y
CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS=48
CONFIG_ARM64_PA_BITS_48=y
CONFIG_ARM64_PA_BITS=48
You can find pci device with the command lspci on guest.

BTW,qemu vfio works fine with 64KB pages

VM可以启动,但linux无法启动,一直卡住
https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/blob/main/docs/virtiofs-root.md#to-create-the-vm-rootfs
for循环中所有提到的文件在host上都找不到.
