Although accesses to ram_list.dirty_memory[] use atomics so multiple threads can safely dirty the bitmap, the data structure is not fully thread-safe yet. This patch handles the RAM hotplug case where ram_list.dirty_memory[] is grown. ram_list.dirty_memory[] is change from a regular bitmap to an RCU array of pointers to fixed-size bitmap blocks. Threads can continue accessing bitmap blocks while the array is being extended. See the comments in the code for an in-depth explanation of struct DirtyMemoryBlocks. I have tested that live migration with virtio-blk dataplane works. Signed-off-by:
