[Qemu-devel] [PULL 05/36] hw/i386/pc: Map into memory the initrd
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 6 years, 5 months ago
From: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>

In order to reduce the memory footprint we map into memory
the initrd using g_mapped_file_new() instead of reading it.
In this way we can share the initrd pages between multiple
instances of QEMU.
