Can we add a reminder here

  Unlike other migration protocol backends, the 'file' protocol cannot
  honour non-blocking mode. POSIX file/block storage will always report
  ready to read/write, regardless of how slow the underlying storage
  will be at servicing the request.

  For outgoing migration this limitation is not a serious problem as
  the migration data transfer always happens in a dedicated thread.
  It may, however, result in delays in honouring a request to cancel
  the migration operation.
