Recently, you said to me that you were not familiar with live migration.
Actually you did not know the basics of pre-copy live migration.

I know live migration better than you because NTT has Kemari and it uses
live migration infrastructure. My work is originated from the data
I got during profiling Kemari.

SRCU-less dirty logging was also motivated by the pressures from scheduler
developers. Everything was really needed.


Have you ever used live migration for real service?

I cannot say whether O(1) is OK with me without any real background.
