This function does the source part of NBD magic. It invokes drive-mirror on each non shared and RW disk with a source and wait till the mirroring process completes. When it does we can proceed with migration. Currently, an active waiting is done: every 500ms libvirt asks qemu if block-job is finished or not. However, once the job finishes, qemu doesn't report its progress so we can only assume if the job finished successfully or not. The better solution would be to listen to the event which is sent as soon as the job finishes. The event does contain the result of job.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
