From 86635aa4e9d627d5142b81c57a33dd1f36627d07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2021 17:13:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] hostmem-file: add readonly=on|off option MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Let -object memory-backend-file work on read-only files when the readonly=on option is given. This can be used to share the contents of a file between multiple guests while preventing them from consuming Copy-on-Write memory if guests dirty the pages, for example.
