[RFC PATCH 3/3] x86: Create dma_mark_dirty to dirty pages used for DMA by VM guest

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch is meant to provide the guest with a way of flagging DMA pages
as being dirty to the host when using a direct-assign device within a
guest.  The advantage to this approach is that it is fairly simple, however
It currently has a singificant impact on device performance in all the
scenerios where it won't be needed.

As such this is really meant only as a proof of concept and to get the ball
rolling in terms of figuring out how best to approach the issue of dirty
page tracking for a guest that is using a direct assigned device.  In
addition with just this patch it should be possible to modify current
migration approaches so that instead of having to hot-remove the device
before starting the migration this can instead be delayed until the period
before the final stop and copy.
