Re: [Beginner-Help] Help understanding the migration Code

[Amit Kumar]

Following up on the previous email I sent. I want to understand the migration code, I have read a couple of papers on how it works in theory, but I am finding it hard to find a starting point where I can start to understand the code.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi

I am trying to understand how migration, more specifically live-migration works in QEMU. I've tried going through the source code but didn't understand much, and couldn't find documentation either. I want to work on live migration and need help getting to know the code.

More specifically I want to understand

- where the pre/post copy algorithms are implemented

- which files/data-structures that I should look at

- should I need to make changes, where and how should I start?

I am new to working with such large code bases, hence need some guidance.

Thanks
