Hello
While working and testing various live migration scenarios,
a few issues were found.
This is the version 2 of the changes with few non-functional
modifications minus the dropped patch.
I have dropped the patch [1/4] since the discussion with Fabiano
and his proposed changes:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg995782.html
In new patchset, the [PATCH 1/4] addresses Peter's and Fabiano's
comments and Reviewed-by are added.
I added [PATCH 2/4] to add more description about the packet_len
and next_packet_size.
Patches 3,4 are unchanged, added Reviewed-by and moved discussion
of the other issues under "---".
Thank you in advance and looking forward for your feedback.

In migration rate limiting atomic operations are used
to read the rate limit variables and transferred bytes and
they are expensive. Check first if rate_limit_max is equal
to RATE_LIMIT_DISABLED and return false immediately if so.
Note that with this patch we will also will stop flushing
by not calling qemu_fflush() from migration_transferred_bytes()
if the migration rate is not exceeded.
This should be fine since migration thread calls in the loop
migration_update_counters from migration_rate_limit() that
calls the migration_transferred_bytes() and flushes there.

next_packet_size name is a bit misleading, so add more comments
where its defined.
We send data in two chunks in multifd thread:
- send the packet with normal (non-zero) guest pages offsets that are
dirty.
This uses the packet_len and we increment number of packets
for this thread that are sent;
- send the normal (non-zero) guest dirty pages themselves in iovs.
The total size of the data pointed by all iovs for this chunk
is next_packet_size. We do not increment the packet_num for this
thread when sending actual pages;
When compression is enabled, next_packet_size is used to indicate
the size of the compressed buffer on source and destination.
Will be it helpful to rename it as data_size or dirty_data_size?

Previous commit cbec7eb76879d419e7dbf531ee2506ec0722e825
"migration/multifd: Compute transferred bytes correctly"
removed accounting for packet_len in non-rdma
case, but the next_packet_size only accounts for pages, not for
the header packet (normal_pages * PAGE_SIZE) that is being sent
as iov[0]. The packet_len part should be added to account for
the size of MultiFDPacket and the array of the offsets.

Sometimes multifd sends just sync packet with no pages
(normal_num is 0). In this case the old value is being
preserved and being accounted for while only packet_len
is being transferred.
Reset it to 0 after sending and accounting for.

So maybe "payload_size"? This one, not the "next".
Let's see what other people think, but I'm in favor of just renaming
instead of documenting. Later on the maths change and the comment might
become off-sync with the code.
