I'm curious that why librbd sets this limitation? The rule first appeared in librbd.git commit d57485f73ab. Theoretically, a write-through cache is also safe for VM migration, if the cache implementation guarantees that cache invalidation and disk write are synchronous operations. For example, I'm using Ceph RBD images as VM storage backend. The Ceph librbd supports synchronous write-through cache, by setting rbd_cache_max_dirty to zero, and setting rbd_cache_block_writes_upfront to true, thus it would be safe for VM migration. Is that true? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
