Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Fix migration in xend driver

Upstream xen has changed parameters to the migration operation several times over the past 18 months. Changeset 17553 removed the resouce parameter, Changesets 17709, 17753, and 20326 added ssl, node, and change_home_server parameters respectively. Fortunately, testing has revealed that xend will fail the operation if a parameter is missing but happily honor it if unknown parameters are provided. Thus all currently supported parameters can be provided, satisfying current xend but not regressing older versions. --- src/xen/xend_internal.c | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/xen/xend_internal.c b/src/xen/xend_internal.c index be033f5..d9bfa15 100644 --- a/src/xen/xend_internal.c +++ b/src/xen/xend_internal.c @@ -4553,15 +4553,21 @@ xenDaemonDomainMigratePerform (virDomainPtr domain, DEBUG("hostname = %s, port = %s", hostname, port); - /* Make the call. */ + /* Make the call. + * NB: xend will fail the operation if any parameters are + * missing but happily accept unknown parameters.
