Re: migrateDevices( ) ?

[tgh <wwwwww4187@sina.com.cn>]

hi
Thank you for your explanation
and when xen processes " live migration",xend will fork a process to do 
xc_linux_save,and also call the helphandler which will call 
migrateDevices() in three steps,that is ,migrateDevices() will copy the 
devices' state to the destination when the iterative pre-copying of the 
VM memory state is completed ,is it? or what is the tricks behind? i 
read DevController.py,but still not clear,
and i am confused about which code is called in the destination node to 
cooperate with for migration, that is ,on the destination node ,which 
code will invoke the receiving function there? is it httpserver? then 
,which function code will it call to receive ,or what to do ?i guess 
some functions will be called to deal with something ,then call the 
restore function or something, but which function is called before the 
restore function is called ? i am lost in it

Thanks in advance
