Q: Will the memory copy from UOS to SOS impact the performance?
A: Only need to copy twice.
Q: Why don’t use the memory map b/t UOS and SOS, to avoid the memory copy?
A: It's already shared memory between UOS and SOS.
To reduce the memory copy in SOS, vhost-blk may help, it can get request in sos kernel space, and directly read data from the address translated from UOS.
Q:Regarding to the flash discard patches, should they be applied to hypervisor or SOS?
A: The patches include both hypervisor and SOS changes.
Q: How is the performance of write-back mode?
A: in writeback mode, write performance is near to native, the read performance is higher than native.
Q: What’s the different scenarios for write-back and write-through?
A: writeback is unsafe but efficient, if you have no high requirement for safety (as the writeback use sos pagecache, and if suddenly turn off power, the data would be lost.) , you can choose writeback. If you have high requirement for data safety, please use writethru mode.
Q: Which cache mode can help reduce Android guest boot time?
A:  During android boot up, the most operations are read, so it is the same with both cache mode. (writeback and writethru have no difference on read)
Q: Is the page cache be used in file partition mode?
A:  yes.
 
  1. All: Community open discussion.
