[RFC 1/4] A separate thread for the VM migration

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

 



This patch creates a migration bitmap, which is periodically kept in sync with the qemu bitmap. This allows us to have a separate thread for VM migration. A separate copy of the dirty bitmap for the migration avoids concurrent access to the qemu bitmap from iohandlers and migration thread.
