Re: [RFC][QEMU Patch] KVM: Enable QEMU to free the pages hinted by the guest

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

 



Here are some changes I made to your patch in order to address the sizing
issue I called out. You may want to try testing with this patch applied to
your QEMU as I am finding it is making a signficant difference. It has cut
the test time for the 32G memhog test I called out earlier in half.
