Thanks Eric. So, I need to look at QEMU. Do you know which files/functions should I look at? -- Faiz On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 12:41 PM, Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> wrote:
Hello,
I have been trying to track different phases of a live migration

am using libvirt with qemu-kvm. I am issuing migration commands using virsh.
Now, I want to measure the time spent in each phase of live migration, e.g., pre-copy and stop-copy. I stumbled upon the file qemu_driver.c. It has functions like
qemudDomainMigratePrepare2 qemudDomainMigratePerform qemudDomainMigrateFinish2
These functions perform different handshakes between the two libvirt ends of the migration. However, the entire migration is done by a single qemu monitor command, and it is that monitor command that further divides the work into phases such as pre-copy and stop-copy.
I want to know whether qemudDomainMigratePerform and qemudDomainMigrateFinish2 directly map to the pre-copy and stop-copy
phase?
or the qemudDomainMigratePerform function performs both of them?
The MigratePerform function is the one place that calls the qemu monitor command. I know there have been proposals upstream in qemu to add additional statistics in 'query-migrate' monitor command; perhaps there is still more work needed in libvirt to grab those additional statistics in a manner that can be exposed to the user.
