[pve-devel] Bug 1458 - PVE 5 live migration downtime degraded to several seconds (compared to PVE 4)

Fri Jul 28 17:30:48 CEST 2017

I'm going on holiday tonight, so I'll not have time to work on this, sorry.

my last test, using curl through pveproxy to resume the vm, give me around 60-70ms. (vs 1,3s with ssh+qm resume)

same test again,without pvesr, but replacing remote "qm resume" , with ssh + simple socat 
echo -e '{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" } \n {"execute":"human-monitor-command","arguments":{"command-line":"cont"}}' | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/qemu-server/244.qmp

here a profiling of pvesr, on a old xeon 5110 1,6ghz. 
http://odisoweb1.odiso.net/nytprof/ 

(note that I'm around 0,3s on recent xeon e5 3,1ghz vs 1,2s )

mmm, indeed....

I think I have done something wrong with my previous test. 
Theses result seem to be expected, if qm resume is also slow on my old box.

I just realized SSH was probably slowed down in my test case by other 
external factors, so heres your command repeated on a test cluster: 

real 0m0.407s 
user 0m0.004s 
sys 0m0.000s

see above - wonder where the difference comes from? is it possible that 
you have a big state file from testing? lots of guest configs?

in the 0.25-0.3 range here for all our commands (just for forking and 
printing the usage)..

well, you say that calling "qm" takes about a second on your system, and 
we need to call "qm resume" over SSH for the VM to be continued. so how 
can that happen in <100 ms? 

I cannot reproduce your results at all. the only way I can achieve 
downtime in the two digits ms range is by reverting commit 
b37ecfe6ae7f7b557db7712ee6988cb0397306e9 

observed from outside using ping -D -i 0.1 :

stock PVE 5 with b37ecfe6ae7f7b557db7712ee6988cb0397306e9 reverted: 
no downtime visible via ping, it's too small.
