Re: [Xen-devel] Live Migration Error

[Andres Lagar Cavilla <andreslc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,
I got a fresh code image this morning. Live migration works fine, even 
after un-tweaking the timer back to its default value. I have tested, 
not necessarily thoroughly, but I haven't run into trouble yet. I guess 
this closes this chapter.
For whatever it may be worth, I have some comments regarding the 
"previous" (Friday May 13) xfrd version:
- Even though timeout increase would allow live migration to complete 
succesfully this was not always the case; there was actually a 50% 
chance of success.
- On all successful migrations, the number of skipped pages after the 
last iteration and before domain suspend was always zero:
Saving memory pages: iter 3   0%
3: sent 0, skipped 0,
3: sent 0, skipped 0, [DEBUG] Conn_sxpr>
(AndresNfsDomain 8)[DEBUG] Conn_sxpr< err=0
[1116255361.997192] SUSPEND flags 00020004 shinfo 00000beb eip c01068fe 
esi 0002de60
- On all failed migrations, there was a nonzero number of said skipped 
pages (sometimes 12, sometimes 4)
Hope this somehow helps.
Keep up the excellent work
Andres
