Description

High-speed traffic method between a kind of virtual machine of supporting online migration

Technical field

The present invention relates to communication means between the virtual machine in the operating system field, on the especially same physical computer based on the communication means between a plurality of virtual machines of shared drive.

Background technology

Along with the fast development of computer and network technologies, the kind of customer service continues to increase, scale constantly increases, and for satisfying the ever-increasing demand of user, the user can purchase more computing machine and dispose the business that operation increases usually; And meanwhile; The appearance of polycaryon processor makes the processing power of computing machine improve fast, then often cause the computing machine utilization factor to reduce, to calculate usefulness low, and cause hardware resource and waste of electric energy; From the consideration of management and cost control, need to reduce the quantity of computing machine.On the other hand; In traditional operating system environment, the degree of coupling was bigger between each was formed, and the inefficacy of certain parts possibly cause the fault or the collapse of total system; The controllability of service operation environment be need effectively isolate, thereby the security and the reliability of system improved with raising inefficacy scope.

For usefulness, safety and the reliability that improves computer system; Virtual method has appearred; Promptly through CPU (the Central Processing Unit of monitor of virtual machine VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) software to physical computer; CPU), internal memory and other hardware device carry out virtual; On a physical computer, fictionalize a plurality of virtual machine VM (Virtual Machine), each VM moves a client operating system (Guest OS), just a plurality of client operating systems of operation on a physical computer; Be used to support that the underlying operating system of client operating system operation is called host operating system (Host OS), the various operating systems on the VMM are commonly referred to as territory (Domain).Traditional VMM like Xen, mainly is made up of Interrupt Process submodule, the virtual submodule of cpu instruction, the virtual submodule of MMU, incident injection submodule, inter-domain sharing internal memory submodule, online migration (Live Migration) submodule.

Early stage virtual machine method is mainly used in large scale computer and server field, is used to improve the physical hardware utilization factor, supports Legacy System etc.In recent years, along with the high speed development of unit hardware performance, to Server Consolidation, resource management, cut down the consumption of energy, safety is isolated and high available demand urgent day by day, the virtual machine method has got into a stage that develops rapidly.A remarkable advantage that uses virtual machine technique to bring is exactly to realize load balancing or fault-tolerant recovery efficiently through the online migration of VM.Online migration is meant under the prerequisite of not break in service, and the VM that is moving is transplanted on another physical computer from a physical computer.Through with physical computer online the move to load light physical computer of VM, can realize the load balancing of total system from the load weight; Through with VM from the online physical computer of moving to normal operation of the physical computer that breaks down, need not to interrupt telex network, can realize the zero fault-tolerant recovery of downtime.Traditional VMM supports the online migration of VM through online migration submodule.

Intel Virtualization Technology improve the server resource integration ability, enhance system security and reliability in, also brought losing on the performance.For in operating in virtual machine such as for the network-intensive type application programs such as Web service, high-performance Grid application, issued transaction, distributed graphic support, the communication efficiency between VM is most important for the raising of using integral performance.Therefore; The communication efficiency of optimizing between VM is very necessary, especially for being positioned at same the communication between the different virtual machine on the physical computer, if still adopt communication means between the virtual machine of striding physical computer; Then data transfer path is long partially, is unfavorable for reducing communication overhead.

At present; Be positioned at that the communication means between different virtual machine is divided into two types on same the physical computer; First kind method is common network service; It is to realize communicating by letter between virtual machine towards the TCP/IP network protocol stack, and its all data transmission all pass through ICP/IP protocol and NIC driver is handled, and have increased the message transmissions expense.Along with the development of Intel Virtualization Technology, a plurality of VM of physical host deploy have become universal phenomenon, if still carry out the network service between different VM on the same physical computer through ICP/IP protocol, then performance loss is bigger.So second class methods occurred, these class methods are positioned at the characteristics of same physical computer to communicating pair, and the mode through shared drive realizes communication and message exchange between the VM.

Second type of representativeness work based on the communication means of shared drive comprises virtual machine communication interface socket VMCI Socket (Virtual Machine Communication Interface Socket), XenSocket, XWay, IVC (Inter Virtual Machine Communication), MNNet and XenLoop.(first kind method is that the data buffer with send_process process among the virtual machine VM_1 is mapped to a physical memory through VMM to be different from communication means between first kind virtual machine; With the copying data that sends to this buffer zone; Then in another piece physical memory with the recv_process process mapping in the virtual machine VM_2 of the copying data in this physical memory; Be copied at last in the user's space data buffer of recv_process; This wherein will carry out the repeatedly switching between VM and the VMM), data at first are copied in the shared buffer of setting up between VM_1 and the VM_2, and then VM_1 notice VM_2 has deposit data to be read in shared drive; VM_2 receives after this notice the user's space that data is copied to VM_2 from shared buffer; Notify the VM_1 DTD then,, after it receives this notice, will be waken up if the transmission process is in sleep state owing to the reason of shared buffer insufficient space among the VM_1.Compare with first kind method, second class methods have reduced the copy number of times of data and the switching times between VM and the VMM, can effectively reduce the communication overhead between VM.

According to realize level, to using the whether transparent and whether online migration of virtual support machine of programming, can classify to the above-mentioned representative work of second class methods respectively:

● under the IP layer, Socket and tcp/ip layer, three of application layers realize that level: MNet and XenLoop method realize that implementation complexity is bigger below the IP layer; The IVC method realizes that through the MPI storehouse of revising application layer versatility is lower; XenSocket and XWay method then are to realize at Socket, tcp/ip layer.

● the transparency of application programming: application programming is transparent to make program development more simple with maintenance, and IVC, VMCI and XenSocket method have been introduced new DLL, and be opaque to using programming; XWay, MNNet, XenLoop method are programmed transparent to application.

● the support of the online migration of virtual machine: the online migration when whether supporting the VM operation is an important indicator weighing high-speed traffic mechanism between virtual machine; VMCI, XenSocket, XWay and MNNet method be the online migration of virtual support machine not, the online migration of IVC and XenLoop method virtual support machine.

The XWay method is Socket and the tcp/ip layer realization and transparent to using programming on IP, but this method is not supported the online migration of VM.Based on the data of present announcement, this method adopts following steps to accomplish the data communication between different VM on the same physical computer:

The first step makes up between VM the communication support scheme based on shared drive in client operating system.In order to support to communicate by letter between the VM based on shared drive, the client operating system among the VM not only will provide TCP Socket agreement, and the XWay communication protocol that adopts shared drive also will be provided.And this proprietary protocol is not supported in traditional Socket application; In order to reach to using the transparent purpose of programming; Need when receiving Socket message and can between TCP Socket agreement and XWay agreement, switch; Therefore at first make up an XWay changeover module, the XWay changeover module through retouching operation system kernel network protocol stack, and the mode of beating the operating system nucleus patch realize.When related news arrive; The XWay changeover module judges that according to the Socket recalls information target VM is on another physical computer or on local physical computer; Still use traditional T CP Socket agreement for the former, then switch to the XWay agreement for second kind of situation and handle.The processing of XWay agreement is accomplished by the XWay protocol component, and it receives the data transfer request of sending from the XWay changeover module, and sets up the transmission channel based on shared drive between source VM and the target VM.Control of XWay device drives assembly and management are based on the transmission channel of shared drive.XWay changeover module, XWay protocol component and XWay device drives assembly three accomplish in the client operating system Core Feature of communicating by letter and supporting based on shared drive from top to bottom jointly.

In second step, set up the connection between communication sources VM and the target VM.When the XWay changeover module receives the connection request of Socket, at first set up a TCP passage and transmit to connect and set up the control information in the process, to set up in case connect, this passage will be destroyed.Then the XWay changeover module judges that source VM and target VM are whether on a physical computer, if then send to XWay device drives assembly and ask, after the latter receives request, with the one group transmission channel of foundation based on the XWay agreement.Wherein, Each transmission channel is made up of two circle queues and an event channel; Two circle queues are respectively applied for and send data and receive data, and event channel is used between source VM and target VM, transmitting incidents such as " having data to put into transmit queue ", " recipient reads and receives queuing data ".

In the 3rd step, the data between source VM and the target VM are sent and are received.Detailed process is following:

3.1 data are sent.When the XWay changeover module received the transmission request, it was forwarded to the XWay protocol component with this request, and the latter is through calling XWay device drives assembly write data in transmit queue.When space in the transmit queue is not enough; Under Non-Blocking I/O pattern, turn back in the XWay device drives; XWay device drives notice " transmit queue insufficient space " message is given the XWay protocol component under obstruction I/O pattern; The latter is responsible for checking the transmit queue state variation, when the transmit queue space meets the demands, and XWay device drives notice XWay protocol layer retransmission data.

3.2 Data Receiving.When the XWay changeover module receives the Data Receiving request, this request is forwarded to the XWay protocol component, the latter attempts reading of data from corresponding reception formation through XWay device drives assembly.If in the reception formation data are arranged, XWay device drives and XWay protocol component return wherein data available immediately, even the data volume that actual amount of data receives less than request.If the report of XWay device drives assembly receives queue empty, and current for blocking the I/O pattern, the XWay protocol component begins to wait for, up to there being data to deposit the reception formation in.At this moment XWay device drives assembly sends " receiving the formation non-NULL " message and gives the XWay protocol component, and the latter is waken up, wakes up through XWay device drives assembly.If XWay device drives assembly report receives queue empty, and current be Non-Blocking I/O pattern, the XWay protocol component does not then process directly and returns.

The 4th step, the connection between communication close source VM and the target VM.After the XWay changeover module receives to close connection request, at first remove and receive the mapping of formation to kernel address space, discharge transmit queue then and take up space, last release event passage.

The subject matter of this communication means based on shared drive is:

1) do not support the online migration of VM

A remarkable advantage that uses virtual machine technique to bring is exactly to reach purposes such as load balancing or fault-tolerant recovery through the migration of VM on different physical computers, and the online migration when whether supporting the VM operation becomes an important indicator weighing high-speed traffic mechanism between virtual machine.The auxiliary process method that migration detects, migration back data channel is rebuild and other migration is relevant is not provided in the XWay communication means, thereby when online migration takes place the VM of ongoing communication, communication failure will occurs.

2) need to revise client operating system nucleus code

In order to support the high-speed traffic between the VM on the same physical computer, this method must realize: the operating system nucleus module that can load is used to realize XWay changeover module, XWay protocol component and XWay device drives assembly; The kernel patch of operating system network protocol stack is used to revise the part kernel code, thereby supports the switching between Transmission Control Protocol and the XWay agreement; The demons of an outer user's attitude of nuclear are used to carry out XWay telecommunication management and control.This has not only revised, and operating system nucleus is existing forms code, and has realized the demons of a new kernel module and user's attitude, and workload is big and need revise client operating system nucleus code.

In sum, in two class methods of supporting to communicate by letter between VM on the same physical computer, first kind method copying data often, the switching between VMM and the client operating system is comparatively frequent, so communication overhead is bigger.And the exemplary process of second class methods can not possess following characteristic simultaneously: realize at Socket and tcp/ip layer, to using transparent, the online migration of virtual support machine of programming.

How to provide a kind of and realize at Socket and tcp/ip layer, programming is transparent to using, the high-speed traffic method is that the technical matters that solves is badly in need of in this area between the virtual machine of the online migration of virtual support machine.

Summary of the invention

The technical matters that the present invention will solve is: do not support the online migration of VM based on XWay method in the communication means of shared drive and need to revise problem such as client operating system nucleus code to second type, provide a kind of and realize with tcp/ip layer at Socket, programming is transparent to using, the support online migration of VM and need not to the same physical computer of client operating system nucleus patch installing on high-speed traffic method between VM.

1.2.2 structure also adds the announcement management submodule.The announcement management submodule is called to the virtual machine creation by virtual unit management submodule when VM starts or closes or is reclaimed event buffer, announces management submodule this moment and calls the memory-mapped that the inter-domain sharing internal memory submodule of VMM is accomplished event buffer.In addition; The announcement management submodule is also registered and the incident of buffer memory from the request correspondence of VM; And through announcing processing sub to target VM transmission incident, the step of sending incident is: according to the network connection information of current VM, and the event buffer position that positioning and communicating the opposing party VM is corresponding; Current event type and parameter are registered in this event buffer; Inject the corresponding interruption of current event type to communication the opposing party VM; After finishing, Interrupt Process removes this incident in the event buffer.

1.2.3 revise online migration submodule.The online shift function that keeps the online migration submodule of VMM adds migration auxiliary process function.The migration auxiliary process function of adding with the interface that quickens between the kernel module of communicating by letter of the original online shift function of the online migration submodule of VMM and VM is: load in operating system and move the auxiliary process function submodule that is initialised when kernel module is quickened in communication and call; After receiving outside online migration order and accomplishing the migration of VM through the original online shift function of the online migration submodule of VMM, migration auxiliary process function is activated.The flow process of migration auxiliary process and specific as follows: when the acceleration kernel module of communicating by letter is loaded with the interface of other submodule; The initialization submodule activation that the migration auxiliary process function of adding is communicated by letter and quickened kernel module; Generate the current location number of VM; And in the current location of current VMM number table, add ID and the current location number of this VM; Calling communication quickens the VM migration of kernel module and supports submodule, makes the latter obtain a copy of this VM current location number, is used for when data transmission and connection closed, judging whether VM migration has taken place; After receiving outside online migration order and migration through original online shift function completion VM; The link control module that the migration auxiliary process function of adding in the online migration submodule is preserved among the source VMM on the physical computer of place before with current VM migration, send and received among the target VMM after byte number is synchronized to migration; The online migration submodule of notification target VMM generates by the current location of migration VM number then, and upgrades the information in the current location number table.

In second step, the dummy machine system that adopts the first step to make up quickens communication between VM, and concrete steps are:

2.1VMM start VM, the virtual unit management submodule of VMM is organized management to the VM that need communicate acceleration in the dummy machine system.Method is:

2.1.1 it is addr that the IP of VM is set according to the property value in the VM configuration file, group ID is gid (having the VM of communication acceleration demand to be assigned with identical group ID) under it, and group key is key;

2.1.2 judge whether it is the VM that the virtual unit ID of startup is gid on this VMM first:

If 2.1.2.1 then virtual unit management submodule is created the virtual unit that is numbered gid, its access key is key;

2.1.2.2 if not; Then obtain gid corresponding virtual unit and judge whether the key that provides is consistent with the key of virtual unit: if consistent; Then create the virtual unit that is numbered gid, its access key is key, this VM of registration in the VM of virtual unit chained list; Inter-domain sharing internal memory submodule in VMM sends request, creates event buffer by the latter for this VM; If inconsistent, then report " VM starts failure " information.

2.2 required software environment is analyzed in communication acceleration and system call between the initialization submodule structure VM of communication acceleration kernel module, method is:

2.2.1 initialization submodule solicit operation system keeps continuous virtual address space; And send request to the inter-domain sharing internal memory submodule of VMM; Set up the shared drive buffer zone by VMM, be used to deposit link control module information, data waiting for transmission and the pending incident of the VM of intercommunication mutually.

2.2.2 the initialization submodule obtains the IP address of current VM and MAC (the Media Access Control) address of place physical computer thereof; Call the online migration submodule of VMM; Through function conversion, generate the unique tick lables information of each VM in this dummy machine system---current location number.The online migration submodule of VMM is that in shared buffer all VM safeguard a current location number table, the up-to-date current location of the ID of each VM and this VM number in the storage virtual machine system.After generating current location number; The initialization submodule calls among the ID and current location number adding current location number table thereof of online migration submodule with this VM; And the VM migration that calling communication quickens kernel module supports submodule, makes the latter obtain and safeguards a copy of the current location number of this VM.

2.3VM the communication in the client operating system is quickened kernel module and is received the system call in application program or the external command; Be transmitted to system call analyzer submodule; System call analyzer submodule at first bypasses the system call irrelevant with network operation (handling by the operating system old process); Select the system call classification relevant to handle then, accomplish the high-speed traffic between the VM on the same physical computer based on shared drive with network operation.Method is:

2.3.1 if the classification of current system call is to set up network to connect, then:

At first obtain the group ID of current VM and the MAC Address of place physical computer thereof 2.3.1.1 connect the management and control submodule through VMM; Whether the virtual group ID that then judges communicating pair VM is identical; If the virtual unit ID of communicating pair is different; Then need not to communicate acceleration, by the conventional flow processing of setting up the connection of TCP network of operating system; If virtual unit ID is identical for communicating pair, judge then whether communicating pair is positioned on same the physical computer, handle by following method:

2.3.1.1.1 if communicating pair is not positioned at same physical computer, then by the conventional flow processing of setting up the connection of TCP network of operating system;

2.3.1.1.2 if communicating pair is positioned at same physical computer; And the link control module that the corresponding network of this system call connects is not added in the link control module table that connects in the management and control submodule as yet; Be that communicating pair is arranged in same physical computer and the corresponding network connection of this system call is not registered to connection management and control submodule as yet, then call the inter-domain sharing internal memory submodule of VMM, the data buffer that obtains source VM and target VM; The byte number that initialization has been sent and received is 0; In the 2.2.1 shared drive buffer zone that VMM sets up in the step, create link control module, the initial value of link control module is set, divide to be used in the shared buffer that data are sent or received; Registration should connect in connecting the management and control submodule at last, was about to the corresponding link control module of this connection and added in the link control module table.

2.3.2 if current system call is the data transmit operations, then:

Call the VM migration and support submodule 2.3.2.1 the data transfer management submodule of kernel module is quickened in communication, whether the corresponding current location during this VM current location number copy of judging its maintenance and VMM current location number are shown is number consistent.If consistent, show that communicating pair VM moves, change the 2.3.2.2 step and carry out sending based on the rapid data of shared drive.If it is inconsistent; Be illustrated in and carry out that migration has taken place this VM before this transmit operation; Move auxiliary process: the current location in the current location that the online migration submodule that VM migration supports submodule to read VMM the is safeguarded number table number, and it is updated in the current location number copy of self maintained; For the data of sending but not being received are as yet handled, the VM migration is supported the submodule inquiry to connect and whether has been registered the corresponding link control module of this connection in the management and control submodule:

If, show that then the VM of the preceding communicating pair of migration is positioned at same physical computer, the high-speed traffic method that is based on shared drive of employing 2.3.2.1.1 registered.Read the byte number that sends He received among the VMM; If the former is greater than the latter; Then showing in the data buffer that 2.3.1.1.2 step distributed still has data not received by target VM; The data transfer management submodule waits for that the send buffer up to target VM is empty, and upgrades the byte number that has received among the VMM, otherwise shows that data all are received.Because migration back communicating pair is not on same physical computer; Therefore reclaim current link control module and data buffer; Transfer the data transmission to mode from mode, by the conventional data transmitting flow processing of operating system based on the TCP connection based on Transmission Control Protocol based on shared drive.

If 2.3.2.1.2 unregistered, the VM that then shows the preceding communicating pair of migration is not on same physical computer, the data of data transfer management submodule wait on network are received and finish.Judge migration back communicating pair then whether on same physical computer, if not, then still adopt and send data, by the conventional data transmitting flow processing that connects based on TCP of operating system based on the mode of Transmission Control Protocol; If then migration back communicating pair is on same physical computer.At this moment; Whether the group ID that judges the current VM that sends data is identical with the group ID of target VM: if identical; Show that then migration opisthogenesis VM is positioned on the same physical computer with target VM and should adopts the shared drive mode that it is communicated by letter and quicken, and needs the connection of foundation based on shared drive, so current system call is set to this data transmit operation; So that, change the 2.3.1.1 step then and carry out rebuilding the transmission of this secondary data of connection continued; If inequality, then need not to quicken communication with the shared drive mode, still adopt mode based on Transmission Control Protocol, connect based on TCP according to the operating system old process and send data.

2.3.2.2 quickening the data transfer management submodule of kernel module, communication carries out sending based on the rapid data of shared drive.The data transfer management submodule at first reads the link control module table, judges whether to exist the connection of current transmit operation correspondence, if do not exist; Show that then communicating pair VM is not on same physical computer; Connect based on TCP by the operating system old process and to send data, otherwise judge that the virtual group ID of communicating pair VM is identical, if inequality; Then connect based on TCP and send data, otherwise send data fast according to the mode of shared drive by the operating system old process.If the data length that request is sent is m, the transmission buffer length of describing in the link control module is n, and method is: if m is not less than n, then transmits n byte to sending buffer zone, and add n for sending byte number, the data length m=m-n that request is sent is set; Otherwise to sending m byte of buffer zone transmission, sent byte number and added m, the data length m that request is sent is made as 0.If this I/O is block type and m＞0; With this transmission task add to link control module etc. sleep VM formation to be sent; The call operation systemic-function is slept; The announcement processing sub transmission of quickening kernel module through communication until target VM receives and goes to the 2.3.2 step when data event wakes this task up, otherwise if the 2.3.2 step is directly changeed in m＞0.

2.3.3 if current system call is the Data Receiving operation, then:

Call the VM migration and support submodule 2.3.3.1 the data transfer management submodule of kernel module is quickened in communication, whether the respective value during this VM current location number copy of judging its maintenance and VMM current location number are shown is consistent.If consistent, show that communicating pair VM moves, directly change the 2.3.3.2 step and carry out receiving based on the rapid data of shared drive.If it is inconsistent; Be illustrated in carry out this receive operation before this VM migration has taken place; Move auxiliary process: at first read the current location number in the current location number table that the online migration submodule of VMM safeguards, and its VM migration that is updated to this VM is supported in the copy that submodule safeguards; For the data of sending but not being received are as yet handled, inquiry connects whether registered the corresponding link control module of this connection in the management and control submodule:
