Subject: [PATCH RFC 11/12] migration: Calculate expected downtime on demand
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 19:13:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319231302.123135-12-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319231302.123135-1-peterx@redhat.com>
This value does not need to be calculated as frequent. Only calculate it
on demand when query-migrate happened. With that we can remove the
variable in MigrationState.
This paves way for fixing this value to include all modules (not only RAM
but others too).
