xen/balloon: memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver

2011-07-26T03:57:08Z

Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver. It should be mentioned that hotplugged memory is not onlined automatically. It should be onlined by user through standard sysfs interface. Memory could be hotplugged in following steps: 1) dom0: xl mem-max where is >= requested memory size, 2) dom0: xl mem-set where is requested memory size; alternatively memory could be added by writing proper value to /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU, 3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \ [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'" In that case step 3 should be omitted.

xen/pci: Remove 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi'.

2011-07-11T17:19:33Z

In the past (2.6.38) the 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi' would allocate an entry in a Linux IRQ -> {XEN_IRQ, type, event, ..} array. All of that has been removed in 2.6.39 and the Xen IRQ subsystem uses an linked list that is populated when the call to 'xen_allocate_irq_gsi' (universally done from any of the xen_bind_* calls) is done. The 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi' is a NOP and there is no need for it anymore so lets remove it. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking

2011-07-08T18:26:21Z

This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory ("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization. Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine. Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap, driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs. More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.

xen: cleancache shim to Xen Transcendent Memory

2011-05-26T16:02:21Z

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem). Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages, and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency, full save/restore and live migration support, compression and deduplication. A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52% reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be found at: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem/dist/documentation/presentations/TranscendentMemoryXenSummit2010.pdf Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer Reviewed-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Nick Piggin Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Rik Van Riel Cc: Jan Beulich Cc: Chris Mason Cc: Andreas Dilger Cc: Ted Ts'o Cc: Mark Fasheh Cc: Joel Becker Cc: Nitin Gupta
