>> I have discovered that sometimes when migrating a VM, the migration itself will succeed, but the migrate_from call on the target node will fail, as apparently the status hasn't settled down yet.  This is more likely to happen when stopping pacemaker on a node, causing all its VMs to migrate away.  Migration succeeds, but then (sometimes) the status call in migrate_from fails, and the VM is unnecessarily stopped and started.  Note that it is NOT a timeout problem, as the migrate_from operation (which only checks status) takes less than a second.

I don't know about getting the patch accepted but since I've seen issues 
like the one you describe on my systems, I have applied your patch 
(Thanks!) and will see how it behaves.
