Subject: [PATCH v2 03/10] migration: stop decompression to allocate and free memory frequently
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 17:10:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180327091043.30220-4-xiaoguangrong@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180327091043.30220-1-xiaoguangrong@tencent.com>

From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@tencent.com>

Current code uses uncompress() to decompress memory which manages
memory internally, that causes huge memory is allocated and freed
very frequently, more worse, frequently returning memory to kernel
will flush TLBs

So, we maintain the memory by ourselves and reuse it for each
decompression
