| Series | virtio-mem: Support "x-ignore-shared" migration | expand |
This series has been tested successfully by QE. Start a VM with a 8G virtio-mem device and start memtester on it. Enable x-ignore-shared capability and then do migration. Migration was successful and virtio-mem can be resized as usual.

Stumbling over "x-ignore-shared" migration support for virtio-mem on my todo list, I remember talking to Dave G. a while ago about how ram_block_discard_range() in MAP_PIRVATE file mappings is possibly harmful when the file is used somewhere else -- for example, with VM templating in multiple VMs. This series adds a warning to ram_block_discard_range() in that problematic case and adds "x-ignore-shared" migration support for virtio-mem, which is pretty straight-forward. The last patch also documents how VM templating interacts with virtio-mem. Cc: "Michael S.
