Subject: [patch 1/6] remove kvm_update_dirty_pages_log call from ram_save_block
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:53:34 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100323165346.726052848@amt.cnet> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100323165333.062022913@amt.cnet

[-- Attachment #1: remove-saveram-kvm-update-dirty-log --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2300 bytes --]

There is no need to update the dirty log from inside ram_save_block, 
since this happens through cpu_physical_sync_dirty_bitmap.

In stage 3, where the VM is stopped, cpu_physical_sync_dirty_bitmap
guarantees dirty log is synchronized before migration finishes.
