Implement the outgoing migration side for the 'fixed-ram' capability.
A bitmap is introduced to track which pages have been written in the
migration file. Pages are written at a fixed location for every
ramblock. Zero pages are ignored as they'd be zero in the destination
migration as well.
The migration stream is altered to put the dirty pages for a ramblock
after its header instead of having a sequential stream of pages that
follow the ramblock headers. Since all pages have a fixed location,
RAM_SAVE_FLAG_EOS is no longer generated on every migration iteration.
Without fixed-ram (current):
ramblock 1 header|ramblock 2 header|...|RAM_SAVE_FLAG_EOS|stream of
pages (iter 1)|RAM_SAVE_FLAG_EOS|stream of pages (iter 2)|...
With fixed-ram (new):
ramblock 1 header|ramblock 1 fixed-ram header|ramblock 1 pages (fixed
offsets)|ramblock 2 header|ramblock 2 fixed-ram header|ramblock 2
pages (fixed offsets)|...|RAM_SAVE_FLAG_EOS
where:
- ramblock header: the generic information for a ramblock, such as
idstr, used_len, etc.
- ramblock fixed-ram header: the new information added by this
feature: bitmap of pages written, bitmap size and offset of pages
in the migration file.
