Here I'm not sure it's correct...

"iter_count" stands for ramstate.iterations.  It's increased per
ram_find_and_save_block(), so IMHO it might contain multiple guest

ram_find_and_save_block() returns if a page is successfully posted and
it only posts 1 page out at one time.

pages.  However compression_counters.busy should be per guest page.


Actually, it's derived from xbzrle_counters.cache_miss_rate:
        xbzrle_counters.cache_miss_rate = (double)(xbzrle_counters.cache_miss -
            rs->xbzrle_cache_miss_prev) / iter_count;

I would agree with Dave here - why we store the "reduced size" instead
of the size of the compressed data (which I think should be len - 8)?


len-8 is the size of data after compressed rather than the data improved
by compression that is not straightforward for the user to see how much
the improvement is by applying compression.

Hmm... but it is not a big deal to me... :)

Meanwhile, would a helper be nicer? Like:

Yup, that's nicer indeed.
