Patch Set 3: Code-Review-1 (2 comments) https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/43299/3//COMMIT_MSG Commit Message: Line 10: probably done because qemu is pausing the vm for creating memory Line 11: snapshot. Line 12: Line 13: However, this is not consistent with snapshots of external disks such as Line 14: network disks, where we always freeze the vm before taking the snapshot. why does it need to be consistent? AFAIK we freeze non-memory snapshots for only one reason - that the disks are in consistent state. When memory snapshots ensures that why should we freeze? Line 15: Also, it is probably safer to freeze even when creating memory snapshot, Line 16: giving applications on the guest chance to pause in consistent state. Line 17: Line 18: This patch removes the check for memory snapshot, and freeze the guest Line 12: Line 13: However, this is not consistent with snapshots of external disks such as Line 14: network disks, where we always freeze the vm before taking the snapshot. Line 15: Also, it is probably safer to freeze even when creating memory snapshot, Line 16: giving applications on the guest chance to pause in consistent state. AFAICT from libvirt code, it's unneeded. Line 17: Line 18: This patch removes the check for memory snapshot, and freeze the guest Line 19: unless it is already frozen.
