From: "Rao, Lei" <lei....@intel.com> The code to acquire bitmap_mutex is added in the commit of "63268c4970a5f126cc9af75f3ccb8057abef5ec0". There is no need to acquire bitmap_mutex in colo_flush_ram_cache(). This is because the colo_flush_ram_cache only be called on the COLO secondary VM, which is the destination side. On the COLO secondary VM, only the COLO thread will touch the bitmap of ram cache.
