[PATCH v2 45/51] migration: Remove old preempt code around state maintai


From: Juan Quintela
Subject: [PATCH v2 45/51] migration: Remove old preempt code around state maintainance
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2022 10:52:22 +0100

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

With the new code to send pages in rp-return thread, there's little help to
keep lots of the old code on maintaining the preempt state in migration
thread, because the new way should always be faster..

Then if we'll always send pages in the rp-return thread anyway, we don't
need those logic to maintain preempt state anymore because now we serialize
things using the mutex directly instead of using those fields.

It's very unfortunate to have those code for a short period, but that's
still one intermediate step that we noticed the next bottleneck on the
migration thread.  Now what we can do best is to drop unnecessary code as
long as the new code is stable to reduce the burden.  It's actually a good
thing because the new "sending page in rp-return thread" model is (IMHO)
even cleaner and with better performance.

Remove the old code that was responsible for maintaining preempt states, at
the meantime also remove x-postcopy-preempt-break-huge parameter because
with concurrent sender threads we don't really need to break-huge anymore.
