[PATCH 00/17] qemu: Add support for blocking writes for the blockdev-mirror job

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Blocking writes ensure that the mirroring converges even when the guest
is I/O intensive with a fast local storage and slow mirror.

This patchset does it by introducing flags which use the blocking mode
as it will have performance impact, and for guests which do I/O in
bursts it might be detrimental to their performance.

One could argue that both the copy job and migration have the
expectations of actually using the copy so ensuring that it converges
might be also something we'd want to do by default. This would obviously
greatly simplify this series, but I didn't want to change the default.
