I find this approach more than just an OK'ish stop-gap, this should fix most such issues we can have in practice. If you can get someone to additionally test this it's fine to apply as is IMO. The one thing that might be worse (didn't check reservation logic) compared to FD passing is when there would be no migration ports available, as then we would have already spend slightly more time and resources by having the VM already started. We could side-step this a bit by looping for requesting a reserved port for a few seconds. But IMO it's not highly likely to run out of such ports, most actions that can spawn multiple migrations (like HA) are capped by default. So once tested a few general migration situations, consider this: Acked-by: Thomas Lamprecht <t.lampre...@proxmox.com> _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
