[PATCH QEMU 5/5] migration: Add the interface for cache drop control

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

 



Whether drop the cache and drop what kind of cache depend on the
user, add the related qmp and hmp interface to query and set the
cache control value.
