[PATCH v1 5/5] virtio-mem: check if the config changed before (fake) offlining memory

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Tue Jun 27 2023 - 07:23:40 EST


If we repeatedly fail to (fake) offline memory, we won't be sending
any unplug requests to the device. However, we only check if the config
changed when sending such (un)plug requests.

So we could end up trying for a long time to offline memory, even though
the config changed already and we're not supposed to unplug memory
anymore.

Let's optimize for that case, identified while testing the
offline_and_remove() memory timeout and simulating it repeatedly running
into the timeout.
