It can be issued immediately after migration is started or any
time later on. Issuing it after the end of a migration is harmless.
+Blocktime is a postcopy live migration metric, intended to show how
+long the vCPU was in state of interruptable sleep due to pagefault.
+That metric is calculated both for all vCPUs as overlapped value, and
+separately for each vCPU. These values are calculated on destination
+side. To enable postcopy blocktime calculation, enter following
+command on destination monitor:
+
+``migrate_set_capability postcopy-blocktime on``
+
+Postcopy blocktime can be retrieved by query-migrate qmp command.
+postcopy-blocktime value of qmp command will show overlapped blocking
+time for all vCPU, postcopy-vcpu-blocktime will show list of blocking
+time per vCPU.

.. note::
During the postcopy phase, the bandwidth limits set using
``migrate_set_speed`` is ignored (to avoid delaying requested pages that
