The other thing I am looking at is trying to find a good way to do dirty page tracking in the hypervisor using something like a para-virtual IOMMU. However I don't have any ETA on that as I am just starting out and have limited development time. If we get that in place we can leave the VF in the guest until the very last moments instead of having to remove it before we start the live migration. - Alex
I actually think your old RFC would be a good starting point: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/5/104 What is missing is I think enabling/disabling dynamically. Seems to be easier than tracking by the hypervisor. -- MST
