Subject: [PATCH] qcow2: Discard VM state in active L1 after creating snapshot
|
|
|
298366 |
|
|
|
298366 |
During savevm, the VM state is written to the active L1 of the image and
|
|
|
298366 |
then a snapshot is taken. After that, the VM state isn't needed any more
|
|
|
298366 |
in the active L1 and should be discarded. This is implemented by this
|
|
|
298366 |
patch.
|
|
|
298366 |
|
|
|
298366 |
The impact of not discarding the VM state is that a snapshot can never
|
|
|
298366 |
become smaller than any previous snapshot (because it would be padded
|
|
|
298366 |
with old VM state), and more importantly that future savevm operations
|
|
|
298366 |
cause unnecessary COWs (with associated flushes), which makes subsequent
|
|
|
298366 |
snapshots much slower.
