Re: [PATCH] libxl: Defer starting job until migration perform phase

Currently the libxl driver calls virDomainObjBeginJob in the begin phase of migration on the source host, expecting to call virDomainObjEndJob in the confirm phase. But the confirm phase is never executed if the prepare or perform phases fail. The job was already being terminated in the perform phase in case of failure, but there is no way to do that if the prepare phase fails since it runs on the destination host. Move the call to virDomainObjBeginJob to the perform phase. It can be terminated there in the event of failure. On success, the confirm phase will be executed, ensuring the job is terminated.
