IST-033576 D2.1.4

Once done, user can specify values for the following ﬁelds of this structure in

order to tailor the checkpoint to his need :

• cr_scope: CR_SCOPE_PROC to checkpoint a process, CR_SCOPE_TREE

for a process tree, CR_SCOPE_PGRP for a process group (as deﬁned by

POSIX, which typically means a command pipeline launched by a shell)

and CR_SCOPE_SESS for a session (which typically means a login shell

and all its descendants or a batch job).

• cr_target: Pid of the process that we want to checkpoint.

• cr_fd: An open ﬁle descriptor where the generated checkpoint ﬁle will be

written.

• cr_signal: Signal that will be sent to the checkpointed process at the end of

the checkpoint.

• cr_timeout: Maximum time allocated to process the checkpoint.

• vmadump_ﬂags: VMAD_DUMP_EXEC to save executables, VMA_DUMP_PRIVATE

to save private mappings, VMAD_DUMP_SHARED to save shared map-

pings and VMAD_DUMP_ALL to do a full dump. VMAD_DUMP_EXEC

should be used to save the executable in the context ﬁle, and VMA_DUMP_PRIVATE

& VMAD_DUMP_SHARED for the libraries.

• cr_ﬂags: Unused in this version.

2.4.3 Checkpoint calls and control

Once the cr_checkpoint_args_t is initialized, a call to the following function should

be done to trigger a checkpoint :

i n t c r _ r e q u e s t _ c h e c k p o i n t ( c r _ c h e c k p o i n t _ a r g s _ t ∗a r g s ,

c r _ c h e c k p o i n t _ h a n d l e _ t ∗h a n d l e ) ;

args is here the previous described checkpoint structure option, and handle is

an opaque output argument that is used by the cr_poll_checkpoint function de-

scribed below.

Return value :

• 0: The checkpoint has been successfully requested.

• <0: an error occurred, typical error can be:
