Subject: [PATCH v2] fix Remus failover regression
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:03:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406520207-10769-1-git-send-email-yanghy@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

commit: c2ba706c
tools/libxc: goto correct label on error paths by Andrew Cooper
broke Remus in Xen 4.4 or earlier versions that has this commit
backported.

With Remus, this jump essentially discards the current incomplete
checkpoint received by the backup and restore backup from the
last complete checkpoint.
This is required for Remus to work and this does not break live
migration.
It has been around since Xen 4.0.
