From: Olaf Hering Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 19:39:28 +0100 Subject: libxc sr min_remaining tools: add --min_remaining to libxl_domain_suspend The decision to stop+move a domU to the new host must be based on two factors: - the available network bandwidth for the migration stream - the maximum time a workload within a domU can be savely suspended Both values define how many dirty pages a workload may produce prior the final stop+move. The default value of 50 pages is much too low with todays network bandwidths. On an idle 1GiB link these 200K will be transferred within ~2ms. Give the admin a knob to adjust the point when the final stop+move will be done, so he can base this decision on his own needs. This patch adjusts xl(1) and the libxl API. External users check LIBXL_HAVE_DOMAIN_SUSPEND_PROPS for the availibility of the new .min_remaining property.
