From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
As Peter pointed out:
| - xbzrle_counters.cache_miss is done in save_xbzrle_page(), so it's
| per-guest-page granularity
|
| - RAMState.iterations is done for each ram_find_and_save_block(), so
| it's per-host-page granularity
|
| An example is that when we migrate a 2M huge page in the guest, we
| will only increase the RAMState.iterations by 1 (since
| ram_find_and_save_block() will be called once), but we might increase
| xbzrle_counters.cache_miss for 2M/4K=512 times (we'll call
| save_xbzrle_page() that many times) if all the pages got cache miss.
| Then IMHO the cache miss rate will be 512/1=51200% (while it should
| actually be just 100% cache miss).
And he also suggested as xbzrle_counters.cache_miss_rate is the only
user of rs->iterations we can adapt it to count guest page numbers
After that, rename 'iterations' to 'handle_pages' to better reflect
its meaning
