Subject: [RFC PATCH] migration/ram: avoid to do log clear in the last round
Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 18:27:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250514102733.3114824-1-yanfei.xu@bytedance.com> (raw)
There won't be any ram sync after the stage of save_complete, therefore
it's unnecessary to do manually protect for dirty pages being sent. Skip
to do this in last round can reduce noticeable downtime.
Signed-off-by: Yanfei Xu <yanfei.xu@bytedance.com>

As I don't have proper machine to test this patch in qemu and verify if it has
risks like in postcopy, colo and so on.(But I tested this idea on my rust VMM,
it works and can reduce ~50ms for a 128GB guest). So I raise the patch with RFC
for suggestions.
