Subject: [PATCH v10 3/3] migration: write zero pages when postcopy enabled
Date: Thu,  8 May 2025 17:58:49 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250508122849.207213-4-ppandit@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250508122849.207213-1-ppandit@redhat.com>

From: Prasad Pandit <pjp@fedoraproject.org>

During multifd migration, zero pages are are written if
they are migrated more than ones.

This may result in a migration hang issue when Multifd
and Postcopy are enabled together.

When Postcopy is enabled, always write zero pages as and
when they are migrated.
