It is weird, but it could:
bandwidth = (double)transferred / time_spent;
s->threshold_size = bandwidth * s->parameters.downtime_limit;
That is the (real) only place when we set it, and if the network was
completely down, bandwidth could be zero.
But I think that it is better to explain in the other way. What does
the current code do:
if (too much dirty memory to converge)
do another iteration
else
do final iteration
What the new code do is
if (low enough memory to converge)
do final iteration.
do another iteration.
So, how we decide if we converge?
if pending_size < s->threshold_size
we "could" change it to pending_size <= s->threshold_size for the zero case
But I think that we would be shooting ourselves in the foot, because we
are having network trouble (only reason that s->theshold_size could be
zero) and we still have all the devices state to migrate.
And once that we enter that state, there is no way back, guest is
stopped in source and we are not able to send anything else.
So I think it is better this way.
What do you think?
Later, Juan.
