Hey everyone- I attended Jonathan Cameron's talk at LPC 2022 back in September and got this idea to use CXL.mem to migrate VMs across physical hosts. Jonathan and myself have had a couple of lengthy talks about this and then I got buried under a ton of other work for months (Sorry Jonathan). But anyhow, last chat we had there were several things still missing in CXL code, both in qemu and the kernel. Jonathan had suggested opening this thread on the CXL mailing list, so we could figure out and enumerate the missing parts in CXL code to enable this type of VM migration. I'd like to collect a "TODO" list of sorts, and help out with the missing components/features. So if you don't mind, I am asking for help from CXL folks to help me identify the missing features Jonathan's talk: https://lpc.events/event/16/contributions/1248/ Intro to nil-migration http://nil-migration.org/ -- Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment -Dr. Nikola Tesla
