What about the reverse approach: Code may register a handler that populates the free_pages_bitmap which is called during this stage? <I like the idea of filtering in general, but I haven't looked at the code yet> > + } > + > migration_bitmap_sync(); > qemu_mutex_unlock_ramlist(); > qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread(); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

If the guest OS has crashed this is going to mean QEMU waits forever and thus migration won't complete. Similarly you need to consider that the guest OS may be malicious and simply never respond. So if the migration code is going to use the guest balloon driver to get info about free pages it has to be done in an asynchronous manner so that migration can never be stalled by a slow/crashed/malicious guest driver.

Get the free pages information through virtio and filter out the free pages in the ram bulk stage. This can significantly reduce the total live migration time as well as network traffic.
