Subject: [PULL 05/36] migration: mapped-ram: handle zero pages
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 16:05:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103210625.3689448-6-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103210625.3689448-1-peterx@redhat.com>
From: Marco Cavenati <Marco.Cavenati@eurecom.fr>
Make mapped-ram compatible with loadvm snapshot restoring by explicitly
zeroing memory pages in this case.
Skip zeroing for -incoming and -loadvm migrations to preserve performance.
