What are the semantics of this value? I imagine it has to do with the rate of transferring dirty pages and deciding when to suspend the machine to perform the final steps of migration. Is there a need to query this value, too? The ability to set the value is probably enough, I can't think of a situation where you need to query it rather than just setting a new value. Can this value be changed once migration is in progress? Stefan
