Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 00/11] Generic data stream handling

In looking at your migration patches I realized we could tweak things a little bit to allow the implementation of a new style migration API which does not require the destination virConnectPtr object. More importantly this could be used independantly of the tunnelled migration. So the patch that follows takes the public API bits of your migration code and adds a new flag VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER, and virDomainMigrateToURI method. It implements it for the Xen driver. For the QEMU driver you already have code which copes with the combination of VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER + VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED. We could easily adapt that to also cope with doing a migration using VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER on its own. ie, source libvirtd opens connection to destination libvirtd, runs the existing prepare method, then uses QEMU monitor todo a plain TCP migration and then invokes the existing finish method. This patch applies between the data streams code & your migration code - it'll clash a little - it ought to cover everything you have relating to the public API with exception of the new internal method virDomainMigratePrepareTunnel Regards, Daniel
