Let's refer to this criteria as the "dirty rate". If this criteria is met more than or equal to twice (dirty_rate_high_cnt >= 2), the throttle percentage increased. In most cases, above implementation is appropriate. However, for a VM with high memory overload, each iteration is time-consuming. The VM's computing performance may be throttled at a high percentage and last for a long time due to the repeated confirmation behavior. Which may be intolerable for some computationally sensitive software in the VM. As the comment mentioned in the migration_trigger_throttle function, in order to avoid erroneous detection, the original algorithm confirms the criteria repeatedly. Put differently, the criteria does not need to be validated again once the detection is more reliable. In the refinement, in order to make the detection more accurate, we introduce another criteria, called the "dirty ratio" to determine the migration convergence. The "dirty ratio" is the ratio of bytes_xfer_period and bytes_dirty_period. When the algorithm repeatedly detects that the "dirty ratio" of current sync is lower than the previous, the algorithm determines that the migration cannot converge. For the "dirty rate" and "dirty ratio", if one of the two criteria is met, the penalty percentage would be increased. This makes CPU throttle more responsively and therefor saves the time of the entire iteration and therefore reduces the time of VM performance degradation. In conclusion, this refinement significantly reduces the processing time required for the throttle percentage step to its maximum while the VM is under a high memory load.
