From: "Michael R. Hines" <address@hidden>
Changes since v10: Detailed breakout of required state machine changes
- Fix tags. Only #13, 14, and 15 need reviews. Rest are completed.
- Patch #13: allow state transitions between other states besides ACTIVE
- Patch #14: introduce MIG_STATE_NONE and change MIG_STATE_SETUP transition
- Patch #15: account for the time spent in MIG_STATE_SETUP through QMP

Here is a brief summary of total migration time and downtime using RDMA:
Using a 40gbps infiniband link performing a worst-case stress test,
using an 8GB RAM virtual machine:
Using the following command:
$ apt-get install stress
$ stress --vm-bytes 7500M --vm 1 --vm-keep
RESULTS:
1. Migration throughput: 26 gigabits/second.
2. Downtime (stop time) varies between 15 and 100 milliseconds.
EFFECTS of memory registration on bulk phase round:
For example, in the same 8GB RAM example with all 8GB of memory in
active use and the VM itself is completely idle using the same 40 gbps
infiniband link:
1. x-rdma-pin-all disabled total time: approximately 7.5 seconds @ 9.5 Gbps
2. x-rdma-pin-all enabled total time: approximately 4 seconds @ 26 Gbps
These numbers would of course scale up to whatever size virtual machine
you have to migrate using RDMA.
Enabling this feature does *not* have any measurable affect on
migration *downtime*. This is because, without this feature, all of the
memory will have already been registered already in advance during
the bulk round and does not need to be re-registered during the successive
iteration rounds.
