Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] migration: Drop postcopy_chunk_hostpages()
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2021 16:53:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211220085355.2284-4-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211220085355.2284-1-peterx@redhat.com>

This function calls three functions:

  - postcopy_discard_send_init(ms, block->idstr);
  - postcopy_chunk_hostpages_pass(ms, block);
  - postcopy_discard_send_finish(ms);

However only the 2nd function call is meaningful.  It's major role is to make
sure dirty bits are applied in host-page-size granule, so there will be no
partial dirty bits set for a whole host page if huge pages are used.

The 1st/3rd call are for latter when we want to send the disgard ranges.
They're mostly no-op here besides some tracepoints (which are misleading!).

Drop them, then we can directly drop postcopy_chunk_hostpages() as a whole
because we can call postcopy_chunk_hostpages_pass() directly.

There're still some nice comments above postcopy_chunk_hostpages() that explain
what it does.  Copy it over to the caller's site.
