Agree, but there is no better idea in my mind to solve the migration
problem with
"info block" but no qemu event.
Both the public migration APIs and the internal qemu migration APIs
need to get
the domain XML before doing preparation on dest host, all of them
need a way to
let the dest known if the disk is ejected. That's why I choosed to change
"qemuDomainFormatXML".
I see the problem is that with the v2 migration protocol, we simply
call into the normal virDomainGetXMLDesc API call. This was fixed
in v3 migration to use the virDomainMigrateBegin call to get the
XML.
Or do you have any good idea? Thanks
I really think we should invest our time in getting QEMU to provide us
with event notifications, rather than trying to hack around it by using
info block. It really shouldn't be this hard to get an event from QEMU
when they already have the data we need.
