This allows us to run VMs while streaming memory changes to disk support mmap shared update log add configuration for memory backing file Progress tweaks
Firecracker used to map over the mmap when it was a restore. For CodeSandbox this is not needed, as we use UFFD and we don't have the limitation that the map was used for. In fact, this is problematic for the UFFD handler, because it implicitly unregisters the UFFD handler from the reclaimed range.
Firecracker is taking significant time on saving the snapshot file. For comparison: writing the memory snapshot by us (1GiB) takes 1s, and writing the snapshot file by Firecracker (150KiB) takes 8.5s. We presume this is because of the syncing of the metadata, which is why we disable it for now. The filesystem should still handle persisting, and given the fact that the snapshot/memory files are temporary anyway, we can afford to not sync/flush.
