 This is a preparatory patch to be able to begin a job in the
 perform phase.

Yep, sounds good.

Agreed. I'll take another look at the P2P patch and push it (after fixing the
nits) if there are no further comments. Implementing the CHANGE_PROTECTION
behavior and improving job handling should be done separately.

Yeah, IIUC I believe this is the behavior depicted by
VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION flag in which is set by default if the driver
support it. So since we're going this way, we should adversite it too in
libxlConnectSupportsFeature() ?

Btw, the P2P patch keeps the original behavior wrt to jobs, and these two
patches meant solely for improving job handling in migration in general. What do
you think in making it a separate patch from this series? (with the changes
suggested above)

IIRC the qemu driver handles this a bit differently, and probably more
correctly. On the sender, a job is started during the begin phase and ended in
the confirm phase. On the receiver, a job is started in the prepare phase and
ended in the finish phase. This prevents modifying the virDomainObj between
phases, e.g. the begin and perform phases on the sender. Is it possible to
change the job handling similarly in the libxl migration phases?

Jim
