Since reading UFFD events and saving paged data are performed

Migration bandwidth limiting is achieved via noticing cases of
out-of-threshold write fault latencies and temporarily disabling
(strictly speaking, severely throttling) saving non-faulting pages.
So have you done any measurements out of it, as we've talked in previous
version? Thanks,
Sorry, not done yet.
So do you still plan to? :)
And if not, could you describe the rational behind this patch? For example,
what's the problem behind (e.g., guest hangs for xxx seconds, maybe?) and
what's the outcome (guest doesn't hang any more)?
Thanks,
