Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/3] qtest/migration: Use switchover-hold to speedup
Date: Thu,  1 Jun 2023 21:16:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230602011626.226640-4-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230602011626.226640-1-peterx@redhat.com>

Use the switchover-hold flag rather than tuning bw+downtime to guide test
convergence.

This can achieve similar goal of previous patch "tests/qtest: massively
speed up migration-test" but without magic offset to write or monitoring.

The initial solution can reduce migration-test time from 8min to 1min40s,
this patch can further reduce it from 1m40s to 1m1s per my local test.
