This extends migration to also support paused VMs, preserving the
paused state on the destination.
Changes:
- Add CompletePaused protocol command that finalizes migration without
resuming the VM on the destination
- Skip the pause step during migration if the VM is already paused
- On migration failure, only restore the running state if
the VM was originally running (not paused)

Add migration-level context types that extend the existing memory-only
metrics with overall migration duration and downtime breakdown.
OngoingMigrationContext models the sender-side migration progress until
all inputs needed for final downtime accounting are available.
CompletedMigrationContext then stores the finalized migration metrics,
including the final memory iteration, snapshotting, snapshot transfer,
and completion phase.
This provides the data needed to log effective downtime in the VMM and
lays the groundwork for future migration statistics reporting.
# Terminology
At first glance, the use of "state" and "[VM] snapshot" may seem
confusing. As discussed in [0], we use "state" consistently in the
migration code. On the VM side, "snapshotting" is merely the mechanism
used to obtain the VM state.

This keeps the existing MemoryMigrationContext behavior intact while

Wire the new `downtime_ms`, `timeout_s`, and `timeout_strategy` fields
from `VmSendMigrationData` into the precopy loop, replacing the previous
hard-coded 5-iteration cap.
Each iteration now evaluates three convergence criteria in order:
- no dirty pages remain;
- the estimated final-iteration downtime is within the configured budget
- or the overall migration timeout has elapsed.
On timeout, `TimeoutStrategy::Cancel` aborts and keeps the VM live on
the source, while `TimeoutStrategy::Force` proceeds regardless of the
downtime target. The convergence callback is updated to return a Result
to propagate the cancel error cleanly up the call stack.
With the recent changes [0], it is fairly easy to implement the new
checks and operate on actual metrics.
These changes are inspired by [1] but differ significantly in details.

When memory_restore_mode=ondemand is specified on the restore command,
the memory manager creates a userfaultfd descriptor, registers each
guest RAM range for missing-page fault interception, and spawns a
handler thread that serves page faults from the snapshot file using
UFFDIO_COPY. This avoids reading the entire memory-ranges file into
guest RAM before restore completes.
The handler uses epoll to multiplex the userfaultfd and a stop eventfd
for clean shutdown. Concurrent faults from multiple vCPUs are handled
by treating EEXIST as a benign race and waking blocked threads with
UFFDIO_WAKE. Once all pages have been served the handler exits
automatically. If the handler thread panics the VMM is signalled to
exit since the VM cannot continue without page fault service.
MemoryZone gains a backing_page_size field so the handler resolves
fault granularity from the zone rather than the top-level config.
Errors from the UFFD setup path use a structured UffdError enum
and a new MigratableError::OnDemandRestore variant, with a From
impl to keep call sites concise.
The seccomp filter is updated to allow the userfaultfd syscall and
the four uffd ioctls (UFFDIO_API, UFFDIO_COPY, UFFDIO_REGISTER,
UFFDIO_WAKE) under the VMM thread profile.

Introduce MemoryMigrationContext to track internal metrics of an ongoing
precopy memory migration.
The context aggregates information such as iteration count, transferred
bytes, durations, bandwidth, and estimated downtime. This enables
migration logic to make decisions based on runtime characteristics,
such as terminating iterations once the expected downtime is below a
target threshold.
The type is used in the next commit to implement iteration-based
migration metrics.

Moves the MSRV requirement to the workspace and expands it to all
cloud-hypervisor dependencies and dev-dependencies.
This improves discoverability for new contributors working on crates
other than the cloud-hypervisor itself and creates consistency regarding

Functionally, this doesn't change anything for dependencies of the

This helps to uncover expensive and needless clones in the code base.
For example, I prevented extensive clones in the snapshot path where
(nested) BTreeMap's have been cloned over and over again. Further,
the lint helps devs to much better reason about the ownership of
parameters.
All of these changes have been done manually with the necessary
caution. A few structs that are cheap to clone are now `copy` so that
this lint won't trigger for them.
I didn't enable the lint so far as it is a massive rabbit hole and
needs much more fixes. Nevertheless, it is very useful.

Adding itertools as dependency improves the iteration code in the
following significantly.
With this change, we don't need a copy of the vector. Just something
that can be coerced into an iterator. We also use the bit position
iterator to make the code somewhat clearer. The new code is much
faster, because it will not iterate over every bit, just each 1 bit in
the input.
The next commit will complete this optimization and have some concrete
numbers.

# What
This commit introduces file-based advisory locking for the files backing
up the block devices by using the fcntl() syscall with OFD locks. The
per-open-file-descriptor (OFD) locks are more robust than traditional
POSIX locks (F_SETLK) as they are not tied to process IDs and avoid
common issues in multithreaded or multi-fd scenarios [1]. Therefore,
we don't use `std::fs::File::try_lock()`, which is backed by F_SETLKW.
The locking mechanism is aware of the `readonly` property and allows
`n` readers or `1` writer (exclusive mode).
As the locks are advisory, multiple cloud-hypervisor processes can
prevent themselves from writing to the same file. However, this is not
a system-wide file-system level locking mechanism preventing to open()
a file.
The introduced new locking mechanism does not cover vhost-user devices.
# Why
To prevent misconfiguration and improve safety, it is good practice to
protect disk image files with a locking mechanism. Experience and common
best practices suggest that advisory locks are preferable over mandatory
locks due to better compatibility and fewer pitfalls (in fs space).
The introduced functionality is aligned with the approach taken by
QEMU [0], and is also recommended in [1].
# Implementation Details
We need to ensure that not only normal operation keeps working but also
state save/resume and live-migration. Especially for live migration,
it is crucial that the sender VMM releases the locks when the VM stops
so the receiver VMM can acquire them right after that.
Therefore, the locking and releasing happen directly on the block
device struct. The device manager knows all block devices and can
forward requests to these types.
Last but not least, this commit uses on explicit lock acquiring
but implicit lock releasing (FD close). It only explicitly releases
the locks where this integrates more smoothly into the existing
code.
# Testing
I tested
- normal operation
- state save/resume,
- device hot plugging,
- and live-migration
with read/shared and write/exclusive locks.
One can use the `fcntl-tool` to test if locks are actually acquired
or released [2].

Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.
