Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH RDMA support v4: 03/10] more verbose documentation of the RDMA transport
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:39:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <514A1E64.50404@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130320203119.GA23583@redhat.com>
Agreed. Very useful for KSM.
Unmapped virtual addresses cannot be pinned for RDMA (the hardware will
break),
but there's no way to know they are unmapped without checking another
data structure.
