[PATCH 4/5] migration: Disallow postcopy preempt to be used with compress
Posted by Peter Xu 3 years, 4 months ago
The preempt mode requires the capability to assign channel for each of the
page, while the compression logic will currently assign pages to different
compress thread/local-channel so potentially they're incompatible.
