From 211ea74022f51164a7729030b28eec90b6c99a08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Lieven Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 12:14:20 +0200 Subject: migration: do not overwrite zero pages on incoming migration do not memset pages to zero if they already read as zero. this will allocate a new zero page and consume memory unnecessarily. even if we madvise a MADV_DONTNEED later this will only deallocate the memory asynchronously.
