RE: [Xen-devel] xfrd inifinite loop reloading pages

["Charles Coffing" <ccoffing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a live migration.  The domain is idle -- booted, but basically 0%
cpu usage.  I gave the domain 256MB, but hadn't used the balloon driver.
 I left one machine receiving the migration for well over 10 minutes,
but it never unpaused the domain.  The xfrd log was just curning with
ever increasing percentages, no other messages.  

Also, it appears as if there is some hysteresis at work here.  Migration
failed on my first two attempts, but all subsequent attempts today have
worked.


Aaahhh... now I'm remembering better:  When I first saw this, months
back, I poked around and found some possible corner cases where EOF
could be missed in libxutil/file_stream.c and elsewhere.  I suspect
that's related.  Let me see if I can get a patch together for that...

Thanks.

Are you using the '-l' live option to migrate? If you are, going past 
100% isn't actually a bug (though looping forever obviously is). 
 
What are you seeing in the sending xfrd log? Have you used the ballon 
driver or mem= command line options to the domain? 
 
Also, what's running in the domain you are trying to migrate? 
 
Best, 
Ian
