The duration of loading non-iterable vmstate accounts for a significant portion of downtime (starting with the timestamp of source qemu stop and ending with the timestamp of target qemu start). Most of the time is spent committing memory region changes repeatedly. This patch packs all the changes to memory region during the period of loading non-iterable vmstate in a single memory transaction. With the increase of devices, this patch will greatly improve the performance. Here are the test results: test vm info: - 32 CPUs 128GB RAM - 8 16-queue vhost-net device - 16 4-queue vhost-user-blk device. time of loading non-iterable vmstate before about 210 ms after about 40 ms Signed-off-by: Chuang Xu <xuchuangxclwt@bytedance.com> --- migration/savevm.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+)
