[PATCH v4 2/4] migration: Add migration parameters for QATzip
Posted by Yichen Wang 5 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Bryan Zhang <bryan.zhang@bytedance.com>

Adds support for migration parameters to control QATzip compression
level and to enable/disable software fallback when QAT hardware is
unavailable. This is a preparatory commit for a subsequent commit that
will actually use QATzip compression.

Could we avoid this parameter but always have the fallback?

IMHO anyone who is serious with using a HW-accelerated compression method
during migration should make sure that the HWs are properly setup.

If you think such caucious is required, would warn_report_once() works when
the fallback happens?

Thanks,
