LAZY MEMORY TRANSFORMATION IN VIRTUAL MACHINE LIVE MIGRATION

摘要

Systems and methods for lazy memory transformation in virtual machine live migration. An example method may comprise: receiving, by a computer system, a plurality of transformed memory blocks, each transformed memory block comprising one or more memory pages mapped into an address space of a virtual machine being migrated to the computer system; storing, in a memory data structure, one or more mappings, each mapping comprising a guest virtual address of a memory page and an identifier of a transformed memory block containing the memory page; responsive to detecting an access to a memory page by the virtual machine, identifying, using the memory data structure, a transformed memory block containing the memory page being accessed; and storing in a memory mapped into the address space of the virtual machine the memory page produced by performing a reverse transformation of the transformed memory block.
