xen-balloon: Move core balloon functionality out of module The basic functionality of ballooning pages is useful for Xen drivers in general. Rather than require a dependency on the balloon module, split the functionality that is reused into the core. The balloon module is still required to follow ballooning requests from xenstore or to view balloon statistics in sysfs.

xen/balloon: use hotplugged pages for foreign mappings etc. alloc_xenballooned_pages() is used to get ballooned pages to back foreign mappings etc. Instead of having to balloon out real pages, use (if supported) hotplugged memory. This makes more memory available to the guest and reduces fragmentation in the p2m. This is only enabled if the xen.balloon.hotplug_unpopulated sysctl is set to 1. This sysctl defaults to 0 in case the udev rules to automatically online hotplugged memory do not exist. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com> --- v3: - Add xen.balloon.hotplug_unpopulated sysctl to enable use of hotplug for unpopulated pages.

xen/balloon: rationalize memory hotplug stats The stats used for memory hotplug make no sense and are fiddled with in odd ways. Remove them and introduce total_pages to track the total number of pages (both populated and unpopulated) including those within hotplugged regions (note that this includes not yet onlined pages). This will be used in a subsequent commit (xen/balloon: only hotplug additional memory if required) when deciding whether additional memory needs to be hotplugged.

xen-balloon: Add interface to retrieve ballooned pages Pages that have been ballooned are useful for other Xen drivers doing grant table actions, because these pages have valid struct page/PFNs but have no valid MFN so are available for remapping.

xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking 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.
