Re: [Xen-devel] Fast checkpoints with COW VM memory

[tgh <wwwwww4187@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi
I am interested in the COW VM memory ,and are there some code or patch 
about it ,or still in process ,or in plan? and if it has been 
implemented and integrated in the source tree, then ,what is the way to 
use it ? say , fast checkpoint, or VM fork ?or something else? is it 
available to use ? or how to do it ?
Thanks
