2021-03-18migrate: remove QMP/HMP commands for speed, downtime and cache sizeDaniel P. Berrangé
The generic 'migrate_set_parameters' command handle all types of param. Only the QMP commands were documented in the deprecations page, but the rationale for deprecating applies equally to HMP, and the replacements exist. Furthermore the HMP commands are just shims to the QMP commands, so removing the latter breaks the former unless they get re-implemented.

Avoid hot pages being replaced by others to remarkably decrease cache misses Sample results with the test program which quote from xbzrle.txt ran in vm:(migrate bandwidth:1GE and xbzrle cache size 8MB) the test program: include <stdlib.h> include <stdio.h> int main() { char *buf = (char *) calloc(4096, 4096); while (1) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 4096 * 4; i++) { buf[i * 4096 / 4]++; } printf("."); } } before this patch: virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}' {"return":{"expected-downtime":1020,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":1108284, "cache-size":8388608,"cache-miss-rate":0.987013,"pages":18297,"overflow":8, "cache-miss":1228737},"status":"active","setup-time":10,"total-time":52398, "ram":{"total":12466991104,"remaining":1695744,"mbps":935.559472, "transferred":5780760580,"dirty-sync-counter":271,"duplicate":2878530, "dirty-pages-rate":29130,"skipped":0,"normal-bytes":5748592640, "normal":1403465}},"id":"libvirt-706"} 18k pages sent compressed in 52 seconds. cache-miss-rate is 98.7%, totally miss. after optimizing: virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}' {"return":{"expected-downtime":2054,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":5066763, "cache-size":8388608,"cache-miss-rate":0.485924,"pages":194823,"overflow":0, "cache-miss":210653},"status":"active","setup-time":11,"total-time":18729, "ram":{"total":12466991104,"remaining":3895296,"mbps":937.663549, "transferred":1615042219,"dirty-sync-counter":98,"duplicate":2869840, "dirty-pages-rate":58781,"skipped":0,"normal-bytes":1588404224, "normal":387794}},"id":"libvirt-266"} 194k pages sent compressed in 18 seconds.
