[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/5] memory: Allow RAM up to block->max_length to be discarded
Posted by Eduardo Habkost 8 years, 4 months ago
Currently ram_block_discard_range() is called only by the postcopy code,
using length=block->used_length.  However, new code will use
ram_block_discard_range() to discard the contents of the entire
RAMBlock, so change the limit check to use max_length instead of
used_length.
