When performing multiple migrations in parallel, the domctl lock may

Does "xl vcpu-list" involve ...
* The "clean" shadow op may pause the domain, restart with a
continuation and then become blocked on the domctl lock, causing VM
downtime in excess of 20 seconds.
These issues can be fixed by not holding the domctl for the frequently
called operations during migration.
Thanks
Ross Lagerwall (2):
domctl: Handle XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3 without the domctl lock
... XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3?
No, but "xl vcpu-list" takes the domctl lock and this contends with
XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3 and XEN_DOMCTL_shadow_op taking the domctl lock
which are called frequently by the migration process(es).
Various other operations were slow due to the domctl lock contention but "xl
vcpu-list" was the most obviously visible example.
