Subject: [PATCH v2] libvirt support to force convergence of live guest migration
Changes since RFC (i.e. v1) patch :
- Incorporated feedback from Jiri Denemark
Looks like you addressed all of Jiri's comments from V1, except for the
name of the VIR_MIGRATE_AUTO_CONVERGE flag. But I don't have a better
suggestion either.
Busy enterprise workloads hosted on large sized VM's tend to
dirty
memory faster than the transfer rate achieved via live guest migration.
Despite some good recent improvements (& using dedicated 10Gig NICs
between hosts) the live migration may NOT converge.
Recently support was added in qemu (version 1.6) to allow a user to
choose if they wish to force convergence of their migration via a
new migration capability : "auto-converge". This feature allows for qemu
to auto-detect lack of convergence and trigger a throttle-down of the
VCPUs.
This patch includes the libvirt support needed to trigger this
feature. (Testing is in progress)

As mentioned earlier, this needs documented in virsh.pod, similar to the
virsh.pod changes Jiri made when introducing the VIR_MIGRATE_COMPRESSED
flag in commit ecfff1da.

Since VIR_MIGRATE_AUTO_CONVERGE is a source-only flag now (destination
host does not do anything if it sees it), we should not even send it
there. Otherwise migration with this flag set would be impossible to a
host with older libvirtd that does not support this new flag. It is the
same situation as with VIR_MIGRATE_ABORT_ON_ERROR. Otherwise the patch
is good. And since it took me so long to look at this patch (I was sick
and then I forgot about it), I fixed this for you.
ACK with the following patch squashed in and pushed.
