Subject: [PATCH] migration: Apply migration specific keep-alive defaults to inet socket
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 17:01:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909150127.1494626-1-jmarcin@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Juraj Marcin <jmarcin@redhat.com>
Usual system defaults for TCP keep-alive options are too long for
migration workload. On Linux, a TCP connection waits idle for 2 hours
before it starts checking if the connection is not broken.
Now when InetSocketAddress supports keep-alive options [1], this patch
applies migration specific defaults if they are not supplied by the user
or the management software. With these defaults, a migration TCP stream
waits idle for 1 minute and then sends 5 TCP keep-alive packets in 30
second interval before considering the connection as broken.
System defaults can be still used by explicitly setting these parameters
to 0.
[1]: 1bd4237cb1 "util/qemu-sockets: Introduce inet socket options
controlling TCP keep-alive"
