That's interesting; I saw that behaviour on my aarch64 box, but not on my power box or on x86. Can you try using tcp:127.0.0.1:4444 to force ipv4 (that fixed it for me on aarch64). On the aarch box I found that it still happened with head of tree qemu and so decided it wasn't my postcopy world; I'm assuming what's happening is that it's trying to connect to the IPv6 address, timing out and then trying IPv4. > (qemu) info migrate > capabilities: xbzrle: off rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: off zero-blocks: off compress: off events: off x-postcopy-ram: on > Migration status: active > total time: 130089 milliseconds > expected downtime: 300 milliseconds > setup: 24 milliseconds > transferred ram: 79454 kbytes > throughput: 50.09 mbps > remaining ram: 7670688 kbytes > total ram: 8388864 kbytes > duplicate: 160684 pages > skipped: 0 pages > normal: 18860 pages > normal bytes: 75440 kbytes > dirty sync count: 1 > > (qemu) migrate_start_postcopy > > (qemu) info migrate > capabilities: xbzrle: off rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: off zero-blocks: off compress: off events: off x-postcopy-ram: on > Migration status: postcopy-active > total time: 135627 milliseconds > expected downtime: 43 milliseconds > setup: 24 milliseconds > transferred ram: 338598 kbytes > throughput: 74.02 mbps > remaining ram: 1688384 kbytes > total ram: 8388864 kbytes > duplicate: 1600406 pages > skipped: 0 pages > normal: 75258 pages > normal bytes: 301032 kbytes > dirty sync count: 0 > dirty pages rate: 98 pages > > (qemu) info migrate > capabilities: xbzrle: off rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: off zero-blocks: off compress: off events: off x-postcopy-ram: on > Migration status: completed > total time: 136898 milliseconds > downtime: 685 milliseconds > setup: 24 milliseconds > transferred ram: 1194196 kbytes > throughput: 72.00 mbps > remaining ram: 0 kbytes > total ram: 8388864 kbytes > duplicate: 1810921 pages > skipped: 0 pages > normal: 286839 pages > normal bytes: 1147356 kbytes > dirty sync count: 2 Great; is the guest happy?
