During savevm, the VM state is written to the active L1 of the image and
05bba0
then a snapshot is taken. After that, the VM state isn't needed any more
05bba0
in the active L1 and should be discarded. This is implemented by this
05bba0
patch.
05bba0
05bba0
The impact of not discarding the VM state is that a snapshot can never
05bba0
become smaller than any previous snapshot (because it would be padded
05bba0
with old VM state), and more importantly that future savevm operations
05bba0
cause unnecessary COWs (with associated flushes), which makes subsequent
05bba0
snapshots much slower.
